Product Details

DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is engineered to match OE specifications for durability, reliability, and stability, with dry processing that eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the machined surface and balance inspection support smooth, even braking. The 5000 Advanced pad compound is formulated for a broad range of modern vehicles and is assembled with NVH-focused shims for a more refined brake feel. Part number 4512-03155 is a practical choice for front brake service on 2014-2026 Kia and Hyundai models listed below.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by stressed or corroded brake hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn front brake components
• Brake pulsation or rough pedal feel from rotor wear
