The Story
Brake Kit for Kia Optima
This Dynamite Friction disc brake kit combines DFC GeoSpec coated rotors, 5000 Advanced brake pads, and matching hardware for the 2011-2015 Kia Optima. It is built for front and rear service on the Kia Optima and is organized as a complete brake job package for OE-style replacement work.
Key Features
- Fits 2011-2015 Kia Optima, front and rear
- DFC GeoSpec rotors with a silver-gray protective coating to resist rust
- Rotors ship dry and ready to install
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and quieter operation
- 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4514-03022
Product Details
The DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware line is engineered for drivers who want a direct-fit brake service solution with matched components. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The pads are formulated for consistent friction, while the hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension during brake service. Part number 4514-03022 is a practical choice for a Kia Optima brake rotor and pad kit replacement.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or stressed hardware
- Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
- Brake pulsation related to worn or out-of-spec rotors
- Reduced stopping consistency from aged friction materials
Installation Notes and Tips
Compatible With 2011-2015 Kia Optima front and rear brake service. Clean the hub face before rotor installation, verify caliper slide movement, and follow proper torque procedures during assembly. The rotors are processed dry, so no oil removal is required before installation. Use standard brake service practices to complete pad bedding after installation. Part number 4514-03022 should be matched to the vehicle’s axle position and brake configuration before ordering.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that the pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction behavior, and the rotors are 100% inspected after machining to confirm critical specifications. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
