Uh huh! Oh ya! me loves you long time
So I was at All Hyundai and Isuzu auto recyclers the other day getting a price on a ecm and hunting down a 02 sensor pigtail for HKC when these brakes dam near hit me in the head. I would not have gone into the yard that day if it wasn't for HKC so I thank you again good sir. There off a 2004 Tiburon that someone had slapped some visual aftermarket parts onto. Anyways here are the brakes

These are a marvelous incredibly rare find and I'm glad to be part of it although I feel like I owe you much more in return! The letters are embossed from the brake. Not even some high end cars have this and they are and will no longer manufactured. The cool thing is the letters will always show whereas brake dust covers vinyl and paint.

Juanra, they are from a Tiburon GT, hard to find at the recyclers.
These brakes are made by Mando, a quick read through Wikipedia and there was some interesting stuff on them. If I recall correctly they began in the 60's and the name was Hyundia Inc. or Ltd, something like that up until the 80's. The name changed a couple of times after that. They supply brakes for Ford, GM and many others. So in a sense one could say a large portion of vehicles in the market have Hyundai brakes...

Dam I love wikipedia, so in 04 the Tiburon GT that had those brakes was known as an SE model. The GT and SE split and became there own identity in 2005. So only the 04 model will have the GT badge with those brakes, and sure enough it had a GT badge on the rear.
