Don't upgrade the rear pads of your vehicle unless you've also upgraded the front ones. The Thermic Black coating on the discs rotors is an anti - corrosion layer that protects against rust. You don't need to remove it before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or any other method to remove this coating, as it's not covered by the EBC warranty. After installation, the brake pads will naturally remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops. This part fits a wide range of vehicles including 2010 - 2022 Ford Expeditions, 2009 - 2014 Ford F - 150s, 2006 - 2007 Subaru Imprezas, 2018 Toyota 86s, and 2010 - 2022 Lincoln Navigators.

Using this EBC S1 kit is easy. First, make sure you upgrade both the front and rear pads together. When you get the rotors, don't try to remove the Thermic Black coating. Just install the pads and rotors as they are. Once you start driving and make your first 10 to 20 stops, the brake pads will take care of removing the coating in the right area. For maintenance, keep an eye on your brakes regularly. Check for any signs of excessive wear or unusual noises. If you notice anything wrong, it's a good idea to have a professional take a look. Remember, trying to remove the Thermic Black coating with brake cleaner or other methods won't be covered by the warranty, so just let the normal use of your brakes do the job.
