This is a set of Front brake pads for a few Hyundai and Kia
For my wife's 2013 Kia Optima which I bought when it was brand new, I purchased these. My understanding is that those were designed for an extended lifetime, not a single year. I believe it began in either 2011 or 2012 therefore these should likely fit your car, but I would double check the trim since my car is an Ex.
Selected User Reviews For Akebono Ultra Premium Front Brake Pads
In order to replace a dreadful TRW pad I put on 20 days ago, I bought these. My first choice was Akebono since they have a good reputation, so I didn't want to sacrifice quality. After I cleaned out the slider pin cylinders with brake cleaner and q-tip and oiled the brakes, they were pretty good I would recommend using the wire brush to scrub all the components, putting new boots on the caliper slide pins, and even new bushings on the 2 slide pins with the rubber pieces. It's just that I don't want to have to go through this ever again. Thus, after doing all that, installing new centric premium rotors, and installing these pads, I drive off to see how well I did. I scrounge, I scrounge. The wheels rotate every time they are turned. I'll tell you. Once again, I thank you for your time. The car was jacked up, jack stands were installed, the tires were removed, the car was put in neutral, and some investigations were performed. It turns out that the hardware that came with these pads hit the rotor's spine. There is no clear explanation of how or why this occurred. The problem is simple to fix, but an easy one. The old hardware was put on after grease from Olybdium was applied to it. Installation of brake pads with new/old hardware, screwing on of the caliper bracket to 70 ft/lbs, reinstallation of the brake caliper to 20 ft/lbs, reinstallation of the brake caliper bracket. After the tire was replaced, the torque was increased to 79 ft/lbs, the vehicle was raised, and the jack stands were removed. My main point is akebono apparently wished to save a few pennies by purchasing cheap hardware. Therefore, an enormous amount of work was redone. After that, I test drove the car and it was no longer It's hard to believe how good these pads are. This rotor is very quiet, doesn't grind, and I like how well it has a good grip. One of the best meals I have ever eaten. To use these pads on a 2014 Hyundai Sonata GLS, you will need to purchase different hardware. I will be thankful to you, but I'll thank your legs, arms, and back more than anything.
My second time ordering Akebono pads from you. You can actually wear these! For more than a decade, Wagner thermo quiets have served us well. If we don't grind down the tabs, then the tacks will never fit right, or they will get stuck to the outer, or the inner will deteriorate while the outer stays intact. Akebonos! These are not the Akebonos! I couldn't believe how well they fit! In addition, Wagner pads produce a significantly smaller amount of dust. Although the brake pedal still feels solid when braking, they still grip My future work will be done through Akebono. Your product is of great quality and made in USA, keep it up!.
A new set of brakes may make a squeaking noise after they have been broken in and driven a few miles. Hard braking is more likely to cause this. It might just be due to the pads being made of a harder material. I don't have any complaints about the performance, though it stops great.
Not as if I had just gotten out of bed.
They were the best brakes I had and for that price they are a bargain.
I received the product on time and it was easy to install I am John's lawyer. The cam already has shims on the I like how it fits. As for how long they will last, we will see.
A quality product is not cheap. The decision was approved by Scotty Kilmer. The perfect translation.
