Brake pads and rotor difference across the world

[Waynerm002]

I started to do some research on the pads and rotors for our cars and with discussions that there are different pads for the European vehicles, I figured I would ask those outside the US would post the part numbers for the front (Brembo equipped vehicles) rotors and pads so we can get an idea of what is actually on our cars and available for purchase. Would love to hear from folks in South Korea as well, they probably already have aftermarket items there and can clue us in on their experience.

Here is what I was able to find for the US for the GT2:
Front Rotor - 51712-J5500
Front Pads - 58101-J5A51

I also came across a different pad number that was listed as discontinued 58101-J5A50, don't know when it was discontinued. Let's get any other part number in this thread so we can see what's out there. Thanks.

I'm signing on to keep up to date. Thanks for starting this. I hope it collects useful information. As it stands, it is obvious that Kia uses better pads than what are on US cars as OEM equipment. Kia sent replacement pads to Car and Driver's "fast lap", because the Stinger flew off the turn instead of braking for it. Iirc (a thread here gave this info), Kia sent European spec pads and the Stinger could then lap the track without brake fade.
