Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear rotor size and vehicle configuration before ordering, especially on Volvo S90, V60, V60 Cross Country, V90, V90 Cross Country, and XC60 models with 302 mm rear rotors or other listed brake package notes. This rear pad set is for rear axle use only and does not include a pad wear sensor.
