Dynamic Friction 4512-21079 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Brake Kit Overview

This DFC disc brake kit is built for rear brake service on the Kia Cadenza and combines coated rotors, advanced ceramic pads, and hardware in one application-specific package. Part number 4512-21079 is engineered for drivers who want OE-style fitment details and corrosion-resistant rotor protection.

Key Features

• Fits 2017-2019 Kia Cadenza, rear.
• Includes DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust.
• 5000 Advanced Brake Pads use post-cured friction material for stable braking performance.
• Scorched pad surfaces reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response.
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for service durability.
• Rotors are machined to tight tolerances with a non-directional finish for smoother bed-in.

Detailed Description

The 4512-21079 brake kit is a complete rear brake service solution for the Kia Cadenza, 2017-2019. DFC GEOSPEC rotors are dry processed and ready to install, which eliminates the need to clean off oil before assembly. The rotor casting follows G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications and is finished to OE-level standards for durability, stability, and consistent braking feel. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for controlled friction and improved noise, vibration, and harshness characteristics through premium rubber-steel-rubber shims. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rust buildup on brake rotors
• Brake noise and vibration during stops
• Uneven pad bed-in after brake service
• Worn or fatigued brake hardware
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction components

Installation Notes

Compatible With rear brake service on the Kia Cadenza, this kit is intended for direct brake system replacement work. The rotors arrive dry and ready to install, and the non-directional finish supports even pad bedding after installation. Verify rotor and pad orientation against the vehicle’s rear brake configuration before assembly.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and the finished rotor meets OE specifications. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-21079 reflects a complete brake kit built around coated rotor protection and controlled-friction pad design.
