Clean the hub face before installing the new rotors, and follow proper torque procedures during reassembly. The coated rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, so no oil removal or extra rotor prep is required. After installation, perform a controlled bed-in procedure to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and each rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent friction behavior, and the hardware kit is built to OE-style form, fit, and function.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynamite Friction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52467832586421,"sku":"HBHR-4512-31166","price":137.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/DF_451231166_Fro.jpg?v=1777952145","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/dynamite-friction-4512-31166-disc-brake-kit-rear","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
