Specifically designed for the front axle of select 1999-2004 Hyundai Sonata models—including Base, GL, GLS, and LX trims—as well as 2001-2002 Kia Optima LX and SE variants, these performance brake calipers deliver a direct-fit replacement solution that upholds rigorous quality standards.
Manufactured by PowerStop, a reputable leader in brake system innovation and durability, these calipers are remanufactured at the company’s Chicago, IL facility. Each unit undergoes a comprehensive refurbishment process that includes the application of a high-temperature electrostatic red powder coating. This coating not only provides a visually striking finish but also offers superior resistance against rust and corrosion, thereby extending the operational lifespan of the calipers under demanding driving conditions.
Power Stop’s commitment to quality is evident in the meticulous pressure testing performed on every caliper to ensure optimal piston functionality and the elimination of potential leaks. The assembly incorporates new pistons, seals, slide pins where applicable, dust boots made from high-temperature EPDM rubber, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips. These components are lubricated with premium silicone lubricant to guarantee smooth operation and durability even in extreme environments.
The inclusion of mounting brackets facilitates straightforward installation, allowing these calipers to bolt directly onto the vehicle’s existing brake system without modification. Their performance-oriented design ensures reliable stopping power, improved heat dissipation, and consistent brake feel, making them an excellent upgrade for both daily driving and spirited performance applications.
