Silence brake noise and keep your wheels cleaner with the PowerStop Z17 Evolution Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (17-1296) — a rear-axle pad set that drops in as a stock replacement for the 2007-2012 Kia Rondo (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment).
This is a REAR pad set built around a low-dust ceramic friction formula, designed for smooth, consistent pedal feel and low, light-colored dust during everyday street driving compared with conventional semi-metallic pads.
- Low-dust ceramic formula: designed to help keep wheels cleaner and deliver quiet, consistent stops.
- OE positive mold technology: promotes consistent wear and performance across the pad's life.
- Thermal-scorched surface: helps the pads achieve a fast break-in.
- Chamfered and slotted with multi-layer rubberized shims: designed for virtually noise-free braking.
- Powder-coated backing plate: resists rust and corrosion.
- Premium stainless-steel hardware included for an easier installation.
For even, balanced braking it's best practice to service both rear pads together as a matched set and to inspect the rotors during the job. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and torque specifications.
