Don't fit upgrade pads to the rear of your vehicle unless the same upgrade is fitted to the front. The Thermic Black coating on the discs rotors is an anti - corrosion layer that offers long - term rust resistance. You don't need to remove it before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove this coating, as doing so is not covered by the EBC warranty. The coating will be naturally removed in the pad swept area by the brake pads within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation on your vehicle. This part is a perfect fit for multiple models including 2011 - 2014 Chrysler 200 (Limited, LX, S, Touring), 2006 - 2010 Chrysler Sebring (Limited, Touring), 2008 - 2014 Dodge Avenger (R/T, SE, SXT etc.), 2007 - 2012 Dodge Caliber (R/T, SE, SXT etc.), and 2008 - 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer (DE, ES, Evolution GSR etc.).

Using this EBC S2 brake kit is easy. First, make sure if you're upgrading the pads, you upgrade both front and rear or just the front. When installing, don't worry about removing the Thermic Black coating on the rotors. It's there to protect against rust. Just install the pads and rotors as you normally would. After installation, within the first 10 to 20 stops, the brake pads will remove the coating in the area they sweep. Remember, don't use brake cleaner or any other method to try and remove the coating, or it won't be covered by the EBC warranty. For maintenance, regularly check your brakes for wear and tear. If you notice any strange noises or reduced braking performance, have your brakes inspected by a professional.
