Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rotor condition, caliper operation, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, then install the included mounting hardware where applicable. After installation, follow a proper break-in procedure to help the ceramic friction material seat evenly. Confirm the vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes and match the application notes for the exact year and brake configuration.
