• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
• Brake hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction
• OE-style fitment and machining for front brake service

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances and built to OE specifications for durability, stability, and reliable stopping performance. The coating helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry-ready surface saves prep time during installation. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction and consistent pedal feel, and the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and reduce noise caused by worn or corroded components. Part number 4512-03118 is a practical front brake kit for drivers servicing a 2013-2016 Kia Optima front brake system or a 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata front brake system.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion on daily-driven vehicles
• Uneven pad wear caused by aged brake hardware
• Reduced braking smoothness from worn front rotors
• Longer stopping distances from depleted friction material

Clean all mating surfaces, inspect caliper slides, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation. Part number 4512-03118 is intended for front axle brake service only.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when required. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. DFC 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured, scorched, and assembled with premium shims to support stable friction performance and quieter operation.
