Important: Don't upgrade rear pads without upgrading front pads. The Thermic Black coating is an anti - corrosion layer for long - lasting rust resistance. No need to remove it before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove it, as it's not covered by EBC warranty. The coating will naturally wear off in the pad swept area within the first 10 - 20 stops after installation. This part fits multiple Ford, Kia, Lincoln, Toyota, and Volkswagen models from 2017 - 2022, including Ford Expedition, F - 150, Kia Optima, Lincoln Navigator, Toyota 86, Camry, Corolla, and Volkswagen Passat.

Using these EBC rear rotors is straightforward. First, make sure to follow the rule - don't upgrade the rear pads unless you've also upgraded the front ones. When installing, there's no need to remove the Thermic Black coating on the rotors. Just put them on as they are. During the first 10 to 20 stops after installation, the brake pads will remove the coating in the area where they sweep. This is normal, so don't worry. For maintenance, avoid using brake cleaner or any other method to remove the Thermic Black coating, as this isn't covered by the EBC warranty. Keep an eye on the rotors' condition during regular vehicle checks. If you notice any abnormal wear or performance issues, it might be time to consult a professional or replace the rotors.
