Power Stop Rear Brake Kit For Hyundai Sonata 2016-19 | Kia Optima 2016-20 - Ceramic Brake Pads With Installation Hardware, 17-1829

I have used this brand of ceramic pads on a few different cars. They seem to be well made, fit well, and are quiet. These were for a 2019 Optima rear brakes with manual emergency brake push pedal which makes things easier. Do one side at a time. Loosen fluid reservoir cap.. Unbolted caliper, soft brush the piston boots clean and gently push them straight back in using an old pad with C-clamp or caliper tool. There was no need to "rewind" like some cars require. Don't let caliper hang by its hose. Carefully remove pads springs and remove old pads. Replace the abutment hardware with the new stainless hardware and center them; be sure to wire brush clean first. Use the proper grease in the channels and a little on the pad points where bew pads slip in. Reinstall top two return springs if equipped. Reinstall caliper. Push brake pedal down gently 2 or 3 times. Reinstall wheel and torque lugs to specs. Check brake fluid and tighten cap afterwords. Start and make sure pedal feels firm.

I love the brand honestly I used them for my front brakes and rotors and just replaced my back ones with these . They are very durable and is a value price but yet not cheaply made. When I changed my front brakes they for sure enhanced my stopping power, they still have dust but since I clean my car fairly frequently it does not bother me very much.! I posted a photo of the thickness compared to my rear brakes pads I changed, I won’t choose another brand that’s for certain.

These brakes are very good closely and they were very easy to install and they didn’t cost me an Arm and a leg very good product. The quality is very good so far they been on my car for a year now and I have had no issues with it. I bought the Front and Rear breaks and they both have done a good job for me and my car.

If all the 'hardware' were included I'd go 5 stars. I ordered same brand name front and rear pads. The front set came with everything except a grease pouch. Neither did this rear set, nor did it include the assist springs that are V-shaped wire spring steel that fit on top of the pads. I don't really know the objective. They appear to assist in releasing the pads from the rotor upon break release. I reused the old ones. Further, this set's seat springs were not OEM style which has a blocking tab for the pads whereas the front set was OEM matching. The omission made it easier to install the pads but, once the assist springs were installed the pads would come out of the seats causing a little delay in holding the pads closed while installing the caliper. That little tab has just enough rise to require a little more pressure to seat the pads. Now, all this is from a DIYer without the benefit of a lift - shade tree mechanic style. Maybe the "Brand" should take a closer look. I just installed them today so I have no history. The quality appears substantial. Only time will tell. I want bet on them lasting 9 years as the OEMs have.

I have used this brand before with good results on other vehicles. This time I was a little disappointed that I didn't get the pad springs with the rear brake pads. Both the front pads I earlier purchased and these rear one fit and work well.

Good quality breaks. Make sure you pump the brake before you drive off!

Replaced front and rear. Front were correct, high quality and easy. Bad thing is, so far Amazon has sent the wrong rear brakes twice. Takes away from quality when I have to keep returning them hoping that Amazon can do the simplest thing, like making the parts they put inside the box match the number they put on the outside of the box. Brakes are good, Amazon not so much.

Perfect fit
