Copper-free front braking starts with the BENDIX PRIORITY 1 Disc Brake Pad Set CFC1828, part of Bendix Premium Copper-Free friction. It installs as a direct-fit front-axle replacement for the 2015-2016 Hyundai Elantra GT, 2023 Hyundai HB20S, 2016-2017 and 2019-2021 Hyundai Veloster, 2018 Kia Forte, 2017 Kia Forte Koup, 2016 and 2018 Kia Forte5, and 2024 Kia K3 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Brake pads are wear items that press against the rotor to slow the vehicle, and squealing, grinding, reduced braking feel, or a thinning friction surface are common signs the pads may need replacing. If worn front pads are the cause, this set replaces them. For even, balanced braking, it's best practice to service the pads on both sides of the axle together as a matched set.
What vehicles does the CFC1828 pad set fit?
It fits the front axle of the 2015-2016 Hyundai Elantra GT, 2023 HB20S, 2016-2017 and 2019-2021 Veloster, 2018 Kia Forte, 2017 Forte Koup, 2016 and 2018 Forte5, and 2024 K3. Check the Buyer's Guide tab.
Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
The catalog lists CFC1828 as a front disc brake pad set, so it supplies the pads for the front axle on the listed applications.
What does 'Copper-Free' mean?
Bendix Premium Copper-Free is the complete offering of brake pads and shoes committed to the Copper-Free Initiative in North America, using friction formulas made without copper.
How do I know when my brake pads need replacing?
Common signs include squealing or grinding noise, reduced braking feel, or a thinning friction surface. Have the brakes inspected to confirm the cause before replacing.
Should I replace both sides at once?
For even, balanced braking it's best practice to service the pads on both sides of the same axle together as a matched set.
