Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only. Verify caliper style and vehicle application before installation, especially on 2003-2007 Nissan 350Z, 2004-2006 Nissan Sentra, and 2003-2004 INFINITI G35 models listed with 4 piston front calipers. Clean the rotor surface, inspect caliper hardware, and follow the proper break-in procedure after installation to help the ceramic pads seat correctly.
