The Story
Front Brake Kit for Sonata and Optima
DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-03097, is a front disc brake kit built for select Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware in one service package for a complete front brake refresh.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit for select 2016-2020 Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima applications
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for reduced noise, vibration, and harshness
- Non-directional rotor finish for faster pad bed-in and smoother stops
- Dry-processed, ready-to-install rotors with no oil coating to clean off
- Part number 4512-03097
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware package is engineered for OE-style fit, durability, and consistent braking performance. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports even pad seating and quieter operation. The ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. This kit is a practical choice for Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima front brake service when you want matched components in one package. Part number 4512-03097 is also a useful reference when ordering the correct front brake kit for these vehicles.
What It Helps Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or stressed hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Longer stopping distances from worn front brake components
- Vibration or harshness during braking
Installation Notes
- Fits 2020 Kia Optima, front
- Fits 2016-2017 Kia Optima, front
- Fits 2016-2019 Hyundai Sonata, front
- Fits 2016-2019 Kia Optima, front
- Fits 2018-2019 Kia Optima, front
- Fits 2016-2017 Hyundai Sonata, front
- Verify rotor diameter and parking brake configuration before installation; some applications note manual parking brake or electric parking brake compatibility
- Clean all mating surfaces and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation
Quality Assurance
DFC machines each rotor to OE specifications and performs 100% inspection of critical attributes before release. Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed, and every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
