Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and front brake configuration before ordering. Fitment varies by caliper type and trim details, including notes such as without painted brake calipers, with black caliper, with heavy duty calipers and pads, and with standard duty pads. Confirm the existing pad shape and brake hardware layout against ACT1611A before installation.
