Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify that the Raybestos SGD555AM brake pads are compatible with your specific Audi or Volkswagen model. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse existing hardware if in good condition or replace as necessary. Properly clean the caliper and rotor surfaces to ensure optimal pad contact. The attached shims help reduce noise, but applying brake lubricant to the back of the pads can further minimize squeal. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and perform a brake system test after installation.
