The 2004.5 Kia Spectra Conventional Brake System
(CBS) is a hydraulic 4-wheel disc brake system with
ventilated brake discs on the front axle and solid brake
discs on the rear axle. A brake vacuum booster aids
the natural force multiplication of the hydraulic system.
The Spectra dual master cylinder utilizes diagonal split
brake line configuration. This diagonal split system
has one front wheel and the diagonally opposite rear
wheel braked in each circuit. The master cylinder has
two separate brake reservoirs for fluid storage with a
fluid level warning sensor.
