Front Brake Kit for Kia Optima
DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-03094, is a front disc brake kit built for select Kia Optima applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware components in one service kit for a cleaner, more complete brake job.
Fits 2011-2015 Kia Optima, front. Fits 2014-2015 Kia Optima, front with manual parking brake applicable. Fits 2014-2015 Kia Optima, front with electric parking brake compatible disc brake rotor.
Key Features
- Complete front disc brake kit for select Kia Optima models
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a corrosion-resistant silver-gray finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pad surface to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- OE-style hardware kit designed for proper form, fit, and function
Product Details
The 4512-03094 brake kit is engineered for drivers servicing the front brakes on a Kia Optima from 2011 through 2015. DFC’s GeoSpec rotor coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the rotor casting is machined to tight tolerances and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and quieter operation, making this kit a practical choice for routine brake service on the Kia Optima.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Service Issues
- Front brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear or rotor scoring
- Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
- Brake pulsation caused by rotor wear or finish issues
Installation Notes
Use this kit for front brake service only on the listed Kia Optima applications. Verify rotor and pad match before installation, and inspect caliper condition, slide pins, and mounting surfaces during service. The coated rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during the brake job.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, processed through precision machining, and checked at 100% inspection stations for critical attributes. Vented rotors are balance-corrected when needed, and each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
