Don't upgrade rear pads without upgrading front pads first. The Thermic Black coating is an anti - corrosion layer for long - term rust resistance. No need to remove it before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove this coating, as it's not covered by EBC warranty. After installation, brake pads will remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops. This part fits a wide range of vehicles, including 2018 - 2022 Ford Expeditions (King Ranch, Limited, etc.), 2018 - 2021 Ford F - 150s (King Ranch, Lariat, etc.), 2018 - 2022 Lincoln Navigators (Base, Black Label, etc.), 2018 Toyota 86s (Base, GT), 2018 - 2019 Toyota Camrys and Corollas, 2018 Kia Optimas, and 2018 Volkswagen Passats.

Using these EBC rear rotors is straightforward. First, make sure that if you plan to upgrade the pads at the rear of your vehicle, you've also upgraded the front pads. You don't need to do anything to the Thermic Black coating before installation; just put the rotors in place. Once installed, the brake pads will naturally remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops. Here are some important notes. Never use brake cleaner or any other method to remove the Thermic Black coating. Doing so will void the EBC warranty. Also, always double - check that your vehicle model is on the list of compatible models. For maintenance, keep an eye on the wear of the rotors. Regularly inspect the brake system. If you notice any unusual noises or a decrease in braking performance, it's time to check the rotors. You can clean the rotors with a mild soap and water solution during regular vehicle cleaning, but avoid abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
