Detailed Description

Raybestos PGD889C is a front disc brake pad set engineered for select 2001-2005 Kia vehicles, including the Kia Sephia, Kia Spectra, and Kia Rio. The ceramic friction compound is paired with slotted pad faces and chamfered edges to support stable contact at the rotor and consistent pad response during everyday braking. With an outer and inner pad height of 2.020 inches, width of 5.090 inches, and thickness of 0.236 inches, this part number is built around the listed OE-style dimensions for accurate front brake service. This part cross-references Akebono ProACT ACT889 and Bosch BP889 for the same application. Raybestos PGD889C is a practical choice when replacing worn front pads on a Kia Rio, Kia Spectra, or Kia Sephia and maintaining the original brake system layout.

What It Helps Address

• Front brake pad wear on select Kia models
• Brake noise related to worn or uneven pad surfaces
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction material
• Rotor contact issues caused by damaged or tapered pads
• Service replacement for front disc brake maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2003-2005 Kia Rio, front. Fits 2001-2004 Kia Spectra, front. Fits 2001 Kia Sephia, front. Confirm rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment dimensions before installation. Because mounting hardware, shims, and wear sensors are not included, reuse or replace those components as needed during brake service. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish even pad transfer on the rotor surface.

Quality Assurance

Raybestos is a recognized brake parts brand with coverage across OE-style replacement applications. PGD889C is built as a direct-fit ceramic pad set for the listed Kia front brake applications and follows the specified pad dimensions and design features for service replacement.
