Using this EBC S20 brake kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is safely parked and on a flat surface. You'll need basic tools like wrenches to remove the old pads and rotors and install the new ones from the kit. When installing the pads, ensure they are properly aligned with the calipers. After installation, the patented Brake - in coating on the pads means you'll experience faster brake - in, but it's still a good idea to drive gently for the first few miles. As for maintenance, regularly check the brake pads for wear. If you notice the pads are getting thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep an eye on the rotors for any signs of rust or damage. The rotors have a geomet anti - rust surface coating, but in harsh conditions, they might still need extra care. If you live in an area with a lot of salt on the roads during winter, wash your brakes occasionally to prevent rust. Always follow your vehicle's regular maintenance schedule for the best braking performance.
