The Power Stop KOE8686 is a front and rear Autospecialty Z17 brake kit built for the 2020 through 2024 Hyundai Venue and 2020 through 2024 Kia Soul, covering all major trim levels for both platforms. The KOE8686 is a true 1-click complete kit: Autospecialty OE replacement rotors for all four corners, Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads for front and rear, all stainless-steel hardware, and high-temperature brake lubricant. Everything arrives matched, tested, and ready to bolt on with no additional parts required. For daily-driver owners who want to restore braking performance to factory-fresh levels without overpaying at a dealership, the KOE8686 is the clean, complete solution.
Why the Power Stop KOE8686 Outperforms OE Replacement Parts
Dealer brake jobs typically source components separately, meaning the pad and rotor combination is not optimized as a matched set. The KOE8686 pairs Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic pads with Autospecialty rotors that are specifically selected and tested together for the Hyundai Venue and Kia Soul platform. The Z17 ceramic formula runs cooler than semi-metallic pads, produces significantly less brake dust for cleaner wheels, and meets or exceeds OE stopping distances from the first drive. The rotors are 100% mill balanced and machined to OE specifications for parallelism using Tru-Cast technology, which eliminates the rotor thickness variation that causes brake pedal pulsation in worn or poorly machined aftermarket rotors.
Z17 Evolution Plus Ceramic Pads
The Z17 pads included in the KOE8686 feature a low-dust ceramic formula with dual-layer rubberized shims over constrained steel for virtually silent braking. Pad surfaces are thermally scorched at the factory for a faster break-in period so the pads perform correctly from the first stop rather than requiring a lengthy bed-in ritual. The Z17 formula is chamfered and slotted to match OE pad geometry, which eliminates the noise and vibration that poorly fitted aftermarket pads introduce. All hardware in the KOE8686 is stainless steel to resist corrosion in salt, rain, and high-humidity environments.
Autospecialty OE Replacement Rotors
The KOE8686 includes four rotors: two vented front rotors at 280.00mm (11.020 in.) outside diameter and two solid rear rotors at 262.00mm (10.310 in.) outside diameter. Both sets are manufactured from cast iron to OE specifications and precision-machined using Tru-Cast technology to ensure parallelism and minimize lateral runout. The rotor surface is a smooth, plain finish that mates cleanly with the Z17 ceramic pad compound. All rotors are 100% mill balanced to prevent vibration at highway speeds.
Fitment: 2020-2024 Hyundai Venue and 2020-2024 Kia Soul
The KOE8686 fits the 2020 through 2024 Hyundai Venue (Denim, Limited, and SEL trims) and the 2020 through 2024 Kia Soul (EX, GT-Line, LX, S, and X-Line trims). Both vehicles share a common front and rear brake specification on this platform. Confirm your trim level against the fitment table before ordering.

Installation Overview
The KOE8686 is a complete bolt-on kit requiring no machining or modification. All components are direct-fit for the Hyundai Venue and Kia Soul platform. A typical front and rear brake replacement takes approximately 2 to 3 hours with basic hand tools and a vehicle lift or jack stands.
- Clean rotor hub mating surface with a wire brush before installing new rotors to prevent runout
- Clean new rotors with soap and water and dry before installation to remove anti-corrosion coating
- Compress caliper pistons carefully to avoid overflowing the brake fluid reservoir
- Replace all hardware with the new stainless-steel pieces included in the kit
- Apply included brake lubricant to pad contact points on the caliper bracket only
- After installation, perform 30 decelerations from 30 mph to 5 mph with 30 seconds between each to bed in the Z17 pads and rotors
- Do not come to a complete stop during break-in and never cool the rotors with water

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the Power Stop KOE8686 fit?
The KOE8686 fits the 2020 through 2024 Hyundai Venue (Denim, Limited, and SEL trims) and the 2020 through 2024 Kia Soul (EX, GT-Line, LX, S, and X-Line trims). Confirm your trim level against the fitment table before ordering.
Does the KOE8686 include front and rear brakes?
Yes. The KOE8686 is a complete 4-corner kit covering both front and rear axles. It includes 2 front rotors, 2 rear rotors, front ceramic pads with hardware, and rear ceramic pads with hardware, plus brake lubricant.
What size are the rotors in the KOE8686?
The front rotors are 280.00mm (11.020 in.) outside diameter with a vented construction. The rear rotors are 262.00mm (10.310 in.) outside diameter with a solid construction. Both sets are precision-machined to OE specifications.
What type of brake pads come in the KOE8686?
The KOE8686 includes Power Stop Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic pads for both front and rear. Z17 pads feature a low-dust ceramic formula, dual-layer rubberized shims for noise reduction, and a thermal scorched surface for faster break-in.
How long does the Power Stop KOE8686 warranty last?
The KOE8686 is covered by Power Stop's 3-year / 36,000-mile limited warranty when the kit is purchased and installed as a complete set. Warranty coverage requires that all components are installed together as a kit, not mixed with other brands.
Will the KOE8686 produce less brake dust than my factory brakes?
Yes. The Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic formula is specifically engineered for low dust output compared to both OE semi-metallic pads and many other aftermarket ceramic formulas. Cleaner brake dust means cleaner wheels between washes.
Do I need to machine or resurface anything before installing the KOE8686?
No. The KOE8686 includes brand-new rotors machined to OE specifications using Tru-Cast technology. No machining or resurfacing is required. Simply clean the hub surface and install the new rotors directly.
Is the KOE8686 compatible with the Hyundai Venue SE trim?
The KOE8686 fitment covers the Denim, Limited, and SEL trims of the Hyundai Venue. The SE trim may use a different brake specification. Check the KOE15500DK, which covers the Hyundai Venue SE, before ordering for that trim level.
Does the KOE8686 require a break-in procedure?
Yes. After installation, perform 30 moderate decelerations from 30 mph to 5 mph with 30 seconds of cooling between each stop. This beds the Z17 ceramic compound evenly into the rotor surface and ensures optimal braking performance from the first hard stop.
Does this product carry a Prop 65 warning?
Yes. California residents: This product can expose you to chemicals including Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium (hexavalent compounds), Lead, and Nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. See www.p65warnings.ca.gov.
