Don't fit upgraded pads to the rear of your vehicle unless the same upgrade is done to the front. The Thermic Black coating on the discs rotors is an anti - corrosion layer that provides 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 it won't be covered under the EBC warranty. The brake pads will remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation. This product fits various 2004 - 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer models, including ES, Evolution, Evolution MR, and more.

Using this EBC S2 kit is easy. First, make sure to install the pads and rotors correctly. Remember, don't upgrade the rear pads unless you've upgraded the front ones too. You don't need to do anything to the Thermic Black coating on the rotors before installation. Just put the parts in place. After installation, during the first 10 to 20 stops, the brake pads will naturally remove the coating in the swept area. For maintenance, keep an eye on the brake pads' wear. If they seem too thin, it's time to replace them. And always remember, if you try to remove the Thermic Black coating with brake cleaner or other methods, it won't be covered by the EBC warranty.
