What does the silver zinc coating do?

The silver zinc coating on this caliper helps to protect it from rust and corrosion. This is important for extending the life of the caliper, especially in areas with exposure to road salt and moisture.

Do I need to replace anything else when installing this caliper?

It's highly recommended to inspect your brake pads and rotors when replacing a caliper. If they show signs of wear, it's best to replace them at the same time to ensure your braking system works effectively.

Does this caliper come with brake pads or hardware?

This DFC brake caliper is sold individually and includes the caliper itself. Brake pads and any necessary mounting hardware are typically sold separately.

Product Details

This is a DFC rear brake caliper, designed to fit a range of BMW models including the 328i GT xDrive, 228i, and 428i. A brake caliper is a crucial part of your braking system; it houses the brake pads and uses hydraulic pressure to squeeze them against the rotor, slowing your vehicle down. When your caliper starts to wear out, you might notice issues like a spongy brake pedal, pulling to one side when braking, or a parking brake that doesn't hold well.

This caliper features a silver zinc coating. This finish helps protect the caliper from rust and corrosion, which is especially important for a component exposed to road salt, water, and debris. It's a well-built replacement that aims to restore your BMW's braking performance to its original level. It's designed to be a direct fit, meaning it should install without needing modifications to your existing brake lines or mounting points.

When replacing a caliper, it's a good idea to inspect your brake pads and rotors as well. If they're also worn, you'll want to replace them at the same time to ensure optimal braking performance and even wear.
