How to use: Install the pads and rotors on your vehicle. Make sure if you're upgrading pads, do the front ones first before the rear. The Thermic Black coating will wear off naturally as you use the brakes. Just drive normally and within the first 10 to 20 stops, the coating in the pad swept area will be removed. Attention: Never use brake cleaner or any other method to remove the Thermic Black coating. If you do, it won't be covered by the EBC warranty. Also, don't upgrade the rear pads unless you've upgraded the front ones. Maintenance advice: Regularly check your brake pads and rotors for wear. If you notice any unusual noises or reduced braking performance, have them inspected by a professional. Keep your brakes clean and free from debris for optimal performance.
