Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor design uses G3000/G11H18 cast iron and is machined to tight tolerances for durability, stability, and OE-style fitment. Each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions, and vented rotors are balanced to help maintain smooth operation. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent stopping behavior, while the included hardware is built to address worn or corroded brake clips and retainers that can contribute to noise and uneven wear. This part number 4512-31149 is a practical choice for drivers searching for a front brake kit for 1991-1998 BMW 318i or 318is models.

Common Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad contact or inconsistent pedal feel
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn friction material
• Vibration or harshness during normal braking
