When you press the brake pedal, the master cylinder is what turns that effort into the hydraulic pressure that pushes brake fluid to every wheel — and the Dorman - First Stop Brake Master Cylinder M630016 is built to take over that job. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Kia Sephia and the 2000-2004 Kia Spectra, stepping in for a worn or leaking original.
If a failed master cylinder is the cause of your low or sinking pedal, this unit replaces it; because those symptoms can have other causes, diagnose the brake system before installing. Bleed the brakes and check the fluid level after replacement to clear trapped air.

Manufacturer part number M630016
This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What does this brake master cylinder do?
It converts brake-pedal force into hydraulic pressure and sends brake fluid to the calipers and wheel cylinders to apply the brakes.
What vehicles does the M630016 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2001 Kia Sephia and the 2000-2004 Kia Spectra. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
What are signs my master cylinder may need replacing?
A pedal that slowly sinks under steady pressure, a spongy or fading pedal, or brake-fluid seepage around the cylinder are common signs. Diagnose the system to confirm the cause.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing this?
Yes. Bleed the brake system and top off the fluid after installation to clear trapped air and help restore a firm pedal.
Will this fix a low brake pedal?
If a failed master cylinder is the cause, replacing it addresses that. A low pedal can have other causes, so diagnose the brake system before ordering.
