Is this a front or rear brake kit?

This is a rear-axle only kit. It includes rear Redstuff pads and rear USR slotted rotors for the supported BMW 5 and 7 Series models. You would need a separate kit for the front brakes.

What makes Redstuff pads different from Ultimax pads?

Redstuff is EBC's lowest-dusting pad compound, developed for muscle cars and import sedans. It produces less visible brake dust on your wheels compared to the Ultimax line. Both compounds use EBC's Brake-in coating.

Are the slotted rotors noisier than plain rotors?

The USR rotors use a fine slot pattern rather than deep, aggressive slots. This design helps clear dust and gas while producing less wind noise than wider-slot designs. Most drivers do not notice added noise in daily driving.

Does this fit the BMW M5 or Alpina B5?

No, this kit uses the D919 pad shape and 345mm rotor size, which is specified for the standard 5 and 7 Series models listed. The M5 uses a different brake system with larger components.

Product Details

Redstuff pads are EBC's lowest-dusting compound, and for BMW 5 and 7 Series owners who want clean wheels without sacrificing braking feel, the S4KR1498 rear brake kit pairs them with fine-slotted USR sport rotors. This is a rear-axle kit only, covering a wide range of 5 Series and 7 Series models from 2010 through 2016.

The Redstuff compound was developed for muscle cars and import sports sedans that spend most of their time on the street. It generates strong initial bite and produces noticeably less brake dust than many semi-metallic alternatives. The USR rotors feature fine slots machined into the braking surface, which help sweep away dust, gas, and debris to maintain consistent pad contact. Made from G3000 cast iron with a Geomet anti-rust coating, the rotors are vented 345mm discs with a 5-bolt pattern, 69mm height, and 24mm thickness with a 75mm center hole diameter.

The FMSI pad number is D919. The kit covers models including the 535i, 535d xDrive, 535i GT, 550i, 550i GT, 740i, 740Li, and 740Li xDrive across various configurations. Whether you drive a daily 535i or a long-wheelbase 740Li, these components bolt right on with no modifications.
