Brake Systems

Front Wheel Brakes, Specifications

Front Wheel Brake
Production-relevant number (PR number)   1LT 1LD 1LG 1LV 1LH, 1ZL 1ZT 1LJ 1LL (1)
Brake caliper   FN-3 16" FNR G60 16" FNR G60 16" FNR G60 17" 2 FNR 42 AL 18"
Brake rotor ventilated diameter mm 314 321 321 347 385
Brake rotor, thickness mm 25 30 30 30 36
Brake rotor, wear limit mm 23 28 28 28 34
Brake caliper, piston diameter mm 57 60 60 60 60
Brake pad thickness mm 19.5 20.24 20.24 20.24 20.43
Brake pad wear limit mm 3 4 4 4 4
(1) PR = 1LL: For armored vehicle.
Front Wheel Brake RS 6, Steel
Production-relevant number (PR number)   1LM
Brake caliper   Brembo 19"
Brake rotor ventilated diameter mm 390
Brake rotor, thickness mm 36
Brake rotor, wear limit mm 34.4
Brake caliper, 6 pistons mm mm 2 pistons each of diameter 34, diameter 36 and diameter 36
Brake pad thickness with backing plate mm mm 16.62
Brake pad wear limit with backing plate mm 9.5
NOTE:

Hairline cracks on brake rotor friction surfaces are often observed during brake repairs. Hairline cracks up to 10 mm long are not a technical flaw and are not cause for brake rotor replacement.

Brake discs with friction surfaces that have worn through should be replaced.

Ceramic - Front Wheel Brakes
Production-relevant number (PR number)   1LN
Brake rotor ventilated diameter mm 420
Brake rotor, thickness mm 40
Brake rotor, wear limit   The wear limit is the minimum brake rotor thickness, during manufacturing it is stamped into the brake rotor cup.
Brake caliper, 8 pistons diameter mm 8 x diameter 30.2
Brake pad thickness with backing plate mm 20
Brake pad wear limit with backing plate mm 10
NOTE:

Hairline cracks on the friction surface on ceramic brakes occur during the manufacturing process and can be found on new brakes in different stampings. Hairline cracks on the friction surfaces are not a reason to exchange the ceramic brake discs.
