Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, make, model, front position, rotor diameter, and caliper configuration before installation. Several listed applications require a D-shaped brake pad sensor plug, and some Audi TT Quattro and Volkswagen Jetta fitments also specify single-piston calipers or VIN digit requirements. Always compare the old pad shape and backing plate dimensions to SCD687A before service.
