Dynamic Friction 4514-21016 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit Overview

This DFC complete brake kit combines coated rotors, advanced ceramic pads, and hardware for a direct service replacement on select applications. It is built for drivers who want OE-style fit, corrosion resistance, and consistent braking performance.

Fits 2017-2019 Kia Cadenza, front and rear. Part number 4514-21016 is the reference for this brake service kit.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings.
• Dry-processed rotors arrive ready to install without additional cleaning or prep.
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction engineered to OE specifications for durability and stability.
• Non-directional rotor finish promotes even pad bed-in and smoother, quieter stops.
• 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post-cured, scorched, and fitted with rubber-steel-rubber shims for stable friction and reduced noise.
• Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for OE-style form and function.

Detailed Description

DFC designed this brake service kit to simplify a full brake refresh with matched components from the GEOSPEC rotor line, 5000 Advanced ceramic pads, and disc brake hardware. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required, while the pad formulation is prepared for stable friction and improved NVH control. For Kia Cadenza brake replacement needs, this kit supports a cleaner installation and a more consistent braking feel.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad bed-in after rotor replacement
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction components
• Corrosion-related service delays during brake repair

Installation Notes

Use this kit for a complete brake service on the listed Kia Cadenza application. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during service. Verify rotor condition, pad contact surfaces, and hardware seating during installation to maintain proper braking performance.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that the rotors are manufactured to OE specifications and undergo 100% inspection of critical attributes. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
