Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and sensor requirements before installation. This front pad set is prepared for an electronic wear sensor, but the sensor itself is not included, so confirm the correct sensor part number for your vehicle before service. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse only serviceable hardware or source the proper hardware separately. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure and bed in new pads according to the friction material guidelines.
