R1 16-20 Kia Optima Front Semi Met Brake Pads and Hardware Kit

This is a front semi-metallic brake pad and hardware kit from R1 Concepts, made for the 2016 through 2020 Kia Optima. If your Optima's brakes are feeling worn or you're hearing squealing, this kit gives you everything you need to replace the pads and ensure they seat correctly.

Semi-metallic pads offer a good balance between stopping power and longevity. They tend to hold up well in a variety of driving conditions and are known for their consistent performance. This kit includes the necessary hardware, like new clips and pins, which are important for proper pad movement and to prevent noise. Replacing these small parts along with the pads helps ensure a smooth and quiet braking experience.

When you're doing a brake job, it's always a good idea to inspect your rotors for wear or damage. If they're grooved or warped, you might consider replacing them at the same time to get the most out of your new pads.
