Does this caliper come with new brake pads?

This product is for the brake caliper only. New brake pads are sold separately. It's recommended to inspect your current pads and replace them if they are worn.

What does the silver zinc coating do?

The silver zinc coating is applied to help protect the caliper from rust and corrosion. This helps to extend the life of the component, especially in areas exposed to moisture and road salt.

Do I need any special tools to install this caliper?

Standard brake service tools are typically required for caliper replacement, including wrenches and sockets for mounting bolts. You will also need a brake bleeding kit to properly service the hydraulic system after installation.

Product Details

When you're replacing your brake pads or rotors on your 1995-1998 BMW 318ti, it's often a good idea to inspect your brake calipers too. If you notice leaks, sticking pistons, or corrosion, this DFC front left caliper is a solid option to get your braking system back in top shape. It's built to match the original specifications for your specific vehicle, so you can expect it to fit right and function as intended.

This caliper features a silver zinc coating, which helps protect it from rust and corrosion. This is especially important for brake components that are exposed to the elements. The caliper houses the brake pads and uses hydraulic pressure to clamp them onto the rotor, slowing your car down. By replacing a worn or damaged caliper with this DFC unit, you're ensuring consistent braking performance and helping to prevent uneven pad wear.

This caliper is designed as a direct replacement, meaning it should install without needing any modifications. Just be sure to refer to your vehicle's service manual for the proper procedure when bleeding your brake system after installation.
