Product Details

DFC’s 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for modern braking systems that require consistent friction characteristics across each axle. The pads are post cured for stable performance, then scorched to help reduce the initial bedding period. On the rotor side, the GEOSPEC coating helps resist rust and arrives dry, so the parts are ready for installation without extra cleaning. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and finished non-directionally to support even pad contact and smoother braking.

This part number, 4512-31061, is a direct front brake service solution for BMW X5 and BMW X6 owners looking for a complete rotor-and-pad replacement package. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise during stops
• Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer pedal feel caused by worn rotors and pads
• Reduced braking smoothness from rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes

Compatible with aluminum hat rotors designed to original specifications and an optional full cast disc rotor design, depending on vehicle configuration. Front fitment includes a disc brake pad wear sensor where equipped. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points during service, and replace worn components as needed before installation. Verify rotor style and vehicle configuration against the existing brake setup before ordering.

Quality Assurance

DFC machines each rotor to OE-level dimensional targets and inspects critical attributes before release. Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed, and every rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
