Don't fit upgraded pads to the rear of the vehicle unless the same upgrade is fitted to the front. The Thermic Black coating, an anti - corrosion layer for long - lasting rust resistance, doesn't need removal before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove it, as this isn't covered by the EBC warranty. The coating will be naturally removed by the brake pads in the swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation. This part is compatible with a wide range of models, including various Ford Expedition, F - 150, Kia Optima, Lincoln Navigator, Subaru Impreza, Toyota, and Volkswagen Passat models from different years and sub - models.

Using these EBC front rotors is straightforward. First, make sure you don't fit upgraded pads to the rear unless you've also upgraded the front. When installing, there's no need to remove the Thermic Black coating. Just mount the rotors as you normally would. Once installed, during the first 10 to 20 stops, the brake pads will remove the coating in the swept area. Here are some important notes. Never use brake cleaner or other methods to remove the Thermic Black coating, as this will void the EBC warranty. Also, ensure that the vehicle models you're using it on are in the compatible list. For maintenance, regularly check the rotors for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice excessive wear, strange noises, or vibrations when braking, it's time to have them inspected or replaced. Keep the rotors clean to ensure optimal performance.
