Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect rotors, calipers, and pad hardware before installation. Clean the caliper bracket contact points, verify sensor routing where equipped, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation. For best results, replace pads on both sides of the axle at the same time and confirm the pad shape matches the original front brake setup.
