Vehicle
A BMW X5 that tows. Solo it is one braking job; with a trailer behind it the front axle carries a very different load, and the standard setup is built for the first case.
Selected setup
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Caliper | TEi SR10 — ten-piston, forged |
| Rotor | 400 mm, full-floating |
| Wheels | 20-inch or larger |
| Includes | Caliper, rotor, pads, mounting hardware |
Why ten pistons for a towing SUV
The SR10 puts ten pistons on a forged body and pairs them with a 400 mm full-floating disc. The floating disc expands and contracts independently of its hub as it heats and cools, which is what keeps it true under repeated loaded stops rather than warping after one long descent.
This is a kit built for sustained load, not a single hard stop. Towing means the brakes are asked to shed energy continuously rather than in bursts, and that is a thermal problem before it is a force problem.
Fitment
The SR10 fits 20–22-inch wheels. Clearance depends on spoke profile as much as on diameter, so send us the model, year, trim and wheel specification and we will confirm rotor size and clearance before you order.
