Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware package is engineered for OE-style fit, durability, and consistent braking performance. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports even pad seating and quieter operation. The ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. This kit is a practical choice for Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima front brake service when you want matched components in one package. Part number 4512-03097 is also a useful reference when ordering the correct front brake kit for these vehicles.
