Product Details

This DFC brake service kit is designed for drivers servicing the front brakes on a Kia Rondo and wanting matched components in one order. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for quieter operation, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal feel, while the hardware kit addresses worn or corroded retaining components that can contribute to noise and uneven wear. Part number 4512-03104 is a practical choice for a front brake job on the 2011-2012 Kia Rondo.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Front brake noise during stops
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion
• Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
• Brake pulsation caused by worn rotors
• Extended stopping distance from worn friction material

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the front axle only for the listed Kia Rondo applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation, which reduces prep time during service. Clean the hub surface before assembly, inspect caliper slides and related components, and follow proper pad bedding procedures after installation for consistent results.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
