The Story
Front Brake Kit for BMW Applications
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front disc brake service kit built for select BMW models. Part number 4512-31150 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching brake hardware for a complete front brake refresh.
- Fits 2003-2006 BMW Z4, front
- Fits 2001-2005 BMW 320i, front
- Fits 1997-2002 BMW Z3, front
- Fits 2000 BMW 323Ci, front
- Fits 1998-2000 BMW 323i, front
- Fits 1999 BMW 318ti, front
- Fits 1998-1999 BMW 323is, front
- Fits 1996-1999 BMW 328i, front
- Fits 1996-1999 BMW 328is, front
- Fits 1998 BMW 318ti, front, vehicle production date from 4/98
- Fits 1992-1995 BMW 325i, front
- Fits 1992-1995 BMW 325is, front
Key Features
- GEOSPEC coated rotors use a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish to help fight rust.
- Rotors are processed dry and ready to install, reducing prep time during brake service.
- Non-directional rotor finish supports faster pad bed-in and smoother, quieter braking.
- Rotors are machined to tight tolerances and inspected for balance and OE-spec dimensions.
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction and reduced break-in.
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help improve noise, vibration, and harshness control.
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for OE-style fit and function.
Product Details
DFC Friction designed this brake service kit for drivers who want a front brake replacement with matched components from the same system. The coated rotors are built from G3000/G11H18 cast iron and finished to OE specifications for durability and stability. The ceramic pad formulation is developed for consistent friction across a wide range of vehicle applications, including BMW Z4 front brake replacement, BMW Z3 front brake kit applications, and BMW 3 Series front disc brake service on models such as the 320i, 323i, 328i, and 325i. Part number 4512-31150 is a practical choice when replacing worn front brakes on select BMW models.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
- Noise caused by fatigued or corroded brake hardware
- Reduced stopping consistency from worn pad friction material
- Longer pedal response from brake components past service life
- Uneven pad wear related to aged caliper hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm exact BMW model, year, and front axle fitment before ordering, especially for the 1998 BMW 318ti with production date from 4/98. Clean the hub surface thoroughly before rotor installation, and follow proper pad bedding procedures after service. Because the rotors are shipped dry, no oil removal step is needed before installation. Part number 4512-31150 is intended for front brake service only.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and each rotor is backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable performance, while the hardware kit is engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function.
