What is the benefit of the EBC Brake-in coating on the pads?

The patented Brake-in coating on the EBC pads helps to speed up the process of mating the new pads to the rotors. This ensures you get consistent and effective braking performance more quickly after installation.

How do the Geomet anti-rust coating and rotor testing benefit my vehicle?

The Geomet coating protects the rotors from corrosion, helping them maintain their appearance and function over time. The run-out and balance testing ensures the rotors spin true, which prevents vibrations and contributes to a smoother, quieter braking experience.

What specific rotor dimensions are included in this kit for the Kia Optima?

For the Kia Optima application, the rear rotors are solid, measure 284mm in diameter, have a height of 32.2mm, and are 10mm thick with a 75mm center hole diameter.
