Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and pad fitment before installation. Several applications note specific brake systems, rotor sizes, caliper types, or VIN breakpoints, so confirm the exact rear brake configuration before ordering. When replacing rear pads on Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, Beetle, Passat, or Audi A3 and TT models, match the vehicle’s brake hardware and original pad material notes to the catalog listing.

For best results, clean the caliper bracket contact points, inspect guide pins, and follow proper bedding procedures after installation. Use the vehicle-specific notes in the fitment data for rear applications such as Lucas brake systems, 232mm rotor setups, and other configuration-specific listings.
