These EBC front rotors come with a Thermic Black anti - corrosion coating. No need to remove it before installation. Brake pads will remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 - 20 stops after installation. Don't use brake cleaner or other methods to remove the coating; doing so isn't covered by the EBC warranty. Only upgrade rear pads if the front pads are also upgraded. This part fits multiple Ford models from 1973 - 1993 like Econoline E150, F - 100, F - 150, and some Kia Optima (2013 - 2015) and Subaru Impreza (1998 - 2002) models.

Hey there! When you get these EBC front rotors, you don't have to worry about removing the Thermic Black coating before putting them on your vehicle. Just install them as they are. Once you start using your brakes, the brake pads will take care of removing the coating in the area they sweep within the first 10 to 20 stops. But remember, don't try to use brake cleaner or any other method to remove the coating. If you do, the EBC warranty won't cover it. Also, if you want to upgrade the pads on your vehicle, make sure to upgrade the front pads first before doing the rear ones. These rotors fit a bunch of Ford models from 1973 to 1993, some Kia Optima models from 2013 to 2015, and Subaru Impreza models from 1998 to 2002. Check the list to see if your vehicle is on it. Happy driving!
