The Story
Rear Brake Kit for BMW 318ti
DFC Friction part number 4512-31160 is a rear disc brake kit built for select BMW 318ti applications. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware to support consistent stopping performance, quieter operation, and cleaner rotor protection.
Compatible with 1995-1999 BMW 318ti rear brake service, this kit is a direct-fit option for drivers looking for an OE-style brake refresh on the BMW 318ti. The coated rotor finish helps resist rust, while the pad and hardware package is engineered for stable braking feel and reduced noise.
Key Features
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rear rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother stops
- Dry-packed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
- Brake hardware designed to OE form, fit, and function
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware package is engineered for rear brake service on the BMW 318ti. DFC uses a coated rotor design that helps fight corrosion better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, and each rotor is machined to tight tolerances with a non-directional finish for more even pad contact. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time, while the included hardware is built with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for dependable caliper movement and fit.
Part number 4512-31160 is also a practical search match for rear brake kit replacement on 1995-1997 BMW 318ti, 1998 BMW 318ti built before 4/98, 1998 BMW 318ti built from 4/98, and 1999 BMW 318ti rear applications.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven rear pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Longer pedal response from worn braking components
- Vibration or roughness during rear brake operation
Installation Notes
Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation. Clean the hub face thoroughly so the coated rotor seats correctly, and follow proper bedding procedures after installation to help the pads and rotors establish even contact. This rear kit is intended for the BMW 318ti applications listed above, including the 1998 production-date split.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is manufactured to OE specifications, processed to tight tolerances, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance where applicable. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-31160 reflects DFC Friction’s complete brake kit approach for rear BMW 318ti service.
