What is the benefit of the Geomet coating on the rotors?

The Geomet anti-rust coating on the rotors helps protect them from corrosion and rust, especially during storage or in humid conditions. This keeps them looking good and helps maintain their performance over time.

How do I break in the new EBC Redstuff brake pads?

The pads come with EBC's Brake-in coating, which helps them seat quickly. After installation, follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate stops from different speeds to properly mate the pads to the rotors.

Does this kit include everything needed for the front brakes?

Yes, this kit includes the front brake pads and front brake rotors, along with caliper lube. It's designed as a complete front brake upgrade.

Product Details

If you're looking to improve your Kia Optima's stopping power, especially for spirited driving or if you've made some modifications, this EBC S12 kit is a solid choice. It bundles together EBC's Redstuff brake pads with their RK series rotors, giving you a complete front brake upgrade that's designed to perform better than stock, even at higher speeds, while also producing less dust.

The Redstuff pads are built with Aramid fiber and ceramic granules, which helps them handle heat better and resist fade. They come fully shimmed, slotted, and chamfered, and feature EBC's special Brake-in coating. This coating helps seat the pads quickly after installation, so you can get back to driving sooner. The included RK rotors are direct replacements for your factory vented rotors, meaning they fit right without any modifications. They're treated with a Geomet anti-rust coating to protect against corrosion and are balanced and runout tested to ensure smooth braking performance.

This kit is a convenient way to get a matched set of pads and rotors, often saving you money compared to buying them separately. It's a popular option for drivers who want a noticeable improvement in braking feel and performance for their Optima.
