The Story
Brake Kit for Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is built for drivers servicing front and rear brakes on select Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima applications. Part number 4504-03061 combines coated rotors with advanced friction pads for a complete brake service package.
Key Features
- Disc brake kit with rotors and pads for front and rear service
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Rotors ship dry and ready to install, with no oil coating to clean off
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor specification for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and quieter braking
- 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help improve noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Part number 4504-03061 for easy ordering and service matching
Product Details
DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are engineered as a service kit for vehicles that need coordinated rotor and pad replacement. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required on vented applications. The pad compound is formulated for stable friction performance, while the rotor coating helps resist rust and simplifies prep during installation. This kit is a practical choice for Hyundai Sonata brake replacement and Kia Optima brake service when both friction surfaces need to be renewed together. Part number 4504-03061 is listed for front and rear applications on select model years.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Brake pulsation caused by worn or uneven rotors
- Reduced stopping performance from worn pad material
- Brake noise related to aged pads or rotor surface condition
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Extended service time from rotors that require cleaning before installation
Installation Notes and Fitment
Compatible With 2015-2020 Hyundai Sonata, front and rear; 2016-2020 Kia Optima, front and rear; 2016-2019 Hyundai Sonata, front and rear with manual parking brake applicable on this disc brake rotor; 2017-2019 Kia Optima, front and rear with manual parking brake applicable on this disc brake rotor; and 2018-2019 Kia Optima, front and rear with 305mm front disc. Verify axle position and parking brake configuration before installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC rotor is processed dry, inspected for balance on vented designs, and checked against OE specifications at critical stages of production. The brake pads are post-cured, scorched, and assembled with premium shims to support consistent friction behavior and improved NVH characteristics. DFC lists a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship for the rotors.
