The Story
Brake Kit for 2012-2016 Kia Sportage
Built for the 2012-2016 Kia Sportage, this DFC disc brake kit combines GeoSpec coated rotors, 5000 Advanced brake pads, and matching hardware for front and rear service. Part number 4514-21022 is engineered for drivers who want OE-style fitment, consistent pedal response, and a cleaner installation process.
Key Features
- Compatible with 2012-2016 Kia Sportage, front and rear
- DFC GeoSpec coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors arrive ready to install without extra prep
- 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and quieter stops
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
The 4514-21022 brake kit is designed around OE-style requirements for the Kia Sportage braking system. DFC GeoSpec rotors use G3000/G11H18 cast iron and are machined to tight tolerances, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish promotes smoother pad contact during break-in. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction and reduced initial bedding time, and the included hardware is built to address worn or fatigued brake clips and springs that can contribute to uneven wear and brake noise.
What This Kit Helps Address
- Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotor surfaces
- Noise caused by fatigued or corroded brake hardware
- Reduced stopping response from worn pads
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear and caliper movement issues
Installation Notes
Fits 2012-2016 Kia Sportage, front and rear. Before installation, confirm rotor size, pad shape, and brake hardware match the vehicle’s original equipment configuration. Clean mating surfaces, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper torque procedures during reassembly. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service.
Quality Assurance
DFC GeoSpec rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for critical attributes, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4514-21022 is a complete brake service solution for the Kia Sportage, combining rotors, pads, and hardware in one application-specific kit.
