Dynamite Friction 7004-03081 Disc Brake Rotor Set - Front and Rear

Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotor Set

Dynamite Friction DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver, part number 7004-03081, is a front and rear disc brake rotor set for select Kia compact models. It is built for drivers looking for OE-style fitment with added rotor surface features for more consistent braking response in demanding conditions.

Fits 2010-2013 Kia Forte, front and rear. Fits 2010-2013 Kia Forte Koup, front and rear. Fits 2012-2013 Kia Forte5, front and rear.

• Drilled holes help reduce heat buildup across the rotor face
• Slots clear brake dust and road debris from the pad surface
• Silver GEOSPEC coating supports corrosion resistance on exposed areas
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction matches OEM-style durability targets
• Non-directional finish promotes faster pad bed-in and smoother braking
• Each vented rotor is electronically mill-balanced and inspected for critical dimensions

Product Details and Fitment

The DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver line is engineered as a performance-focused brake rotor family with OE-spec machining and coating processes. For Kia Forte, Forte Koup, and Forte5 applications, part number 7004-03081 provides a direct replacement rotor set for front and rear positions, with drilled and slotted surfaces that increase pad bite and help maintain braking consistency in wet weather. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Rotor Set Addresses

• Brake fade from excess rotor heat
• Reduced stopping response in wet conditions
• Brake pad glazing from trapped debris and heat
• Rotor vibration caused by uneven machining or imbalance
• Longer pad bed-in time after rotor replacement

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify rotor diameter, hub fit, and brake package details against the vehicle before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly and follow proper torque procedures to help prevent runout and pedal pulsation. New brake pads are recommended when replacing drilled and slotted rotors to support even bedding.

DFC inspects each rotor for balance and critical OE-spec dimensions after machining. Part number 7004-03081 is backed by a 12 month or 12,000 mile limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
