Description
Give Your Brakes a Bling Upgrade with DBA Rotors — Sorted!
> Disc brake rotors are those shiny metal discs your brake pads squeeze to bring your vehicle to a stop. Over time, they get a bit thin, maybe warp, or even develop grooves, which just guts your braking efficiency and safety, especially for compact SUVs like your trusty KIA Seltos or Hyundai Kona that see a bit of everything, from the daily commute to weekend adventures.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Vibration or pulsation felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel when braking.
• Squealing, grinding, or scraping noises during braking.
• Increased stopping distances.
• Visible scoring, grooves, or discolouration on the rotor surface.
• A soft or spongy brake pedal.
Will it pass WOF?
No. Worn, warped, or damaged brake rotors are a significant safety concern and will cause your vehicle to fail its Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection in New Zealand. Rotors must meet minimum thickness specifications and be free from excessive scoring or cracking.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, wheel nut wrench, brake caliper compression tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, safety glasses, gloves.
Expert Recommendation
At CARFIX, we understand that reliable braking is non-negotiable for your safety and the safety of others on NZ roads.

The DBA T2 Street Series rotor is an excellent choice for your KIA Seltos or Hyundai Kona, offering enhanced performance and durability over standard rotors. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your compact SUV. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
These specific rotors are designed for the front axle of KIA Seltos T-GDi (2019-2999), KIA Seltos MPi (2019-2999), and HYUNDAI KONA (2021-2023) models. Always confirm fitment with your vehicle's exact specifications, including engine type and year, as variations can occur even within the same model range.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
