Spectra 2001 Brake pads

[nass_a_b]

Hi people,
This is my first post for me here. I just bought a 2001 spectra GS 1.8 hatchback.
I wanna change the front brakes but I'm afraid that I won't find the correct sized brake pads. Are there any common brake pads between kias?? like maybe between spectra and sephia??

Thanx alot guys. I appreciate your help.

You need to pay close attention to the build date on your car. I also have a 2001 Spectra but my car was built in 10/00 thus the brake pads I needed were for the 2000 model year Spectra. The same goes for the rotors. Kia doesn't tell you this and most autoparts stores don't have a clue. I found out the hardway....after multiple trips to different autoparts stores, I finally found a store that carried both model year parts, we compared them to my parts and made the startling revelation that Kia must not have updated there tooling in time for the 2001 model year introduction.
Hope this helps....

the brakes were changed in 00. so anything 00-04 would be the same. 00 brakes are the same as the 01. and sephia ones arent the same. smaller rotors
