The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Kona Electric and Niro EV
DFC Friction part number 4512-21077 is a rear disc brake kit built for select Hyundai and Kia EV applications. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware for a complete rear brake service on the listed vehicles.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit for electric vehicle applications
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter stops
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware line is engineered for OE-style fit, stable braking performance, and corrosion resistance. The coated rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. The rotor castings are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for consistent friction and quieter operation, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement.
Compatible With 2022-2023 Hyundai Kona Electric, rear; 2019-2022 Kia Niro EV, rear; and 2019-2021 Hyundai Kona Electric, rear. This part number, 4512-21077, is a direct fit rear brake service solution for these applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Service Issues
- Rear brake noise, squeal, or vibration
- Corrosion on rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear or reduced braking consistency
- Extended stopping distance from worn friction material
- Hardware fatigue, sticking, or caliper movement concerns
Installation Notes
Install on the rear axle only for the listed fitments. The coated rotors are shipped dry and do not require cleaning before installation. Follow standard brake service procedures, verify caliper hardware condition, and complete a proper bed-in process after installation. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before ordering.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that the rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for critical attributes before release. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-21077 is backed by DFC’s brake component engineering approach for consistent rear brake service on Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV applications.
