Installation Notes
When upgrading your brake pads, it's essential to ensure that the same upgrade is fitted to the front of the vehicle. The thermic black coating on the rotors is designed to remain intact during installation and will wear off in the pad-swept area after the first 10 to 20 stops. Avoid using brake cleaner or any other method to remove this coating, as it is an anti-corrosion feature that enhances the longevity of your rotors. Please note that any damage caused by improper removal methods is not covered under EBC's warranty.

No warranty is offered for brake vibration suffered due to uneven rotor thickness wear after incorrect installation of brake rotors. It is commonly known in the brake rotor business that accurate mounting and checking of runout on brake rotors is paramount at installation and in spite of necessary warnings many mechanics still see fit to ignore this warning and make no effort whatsoever to check rotor runout. This leads to brake vibration in the 3-5,000 miles lifetime period and is not a warrantable condition. The solution for vibration at this stage is to have the rotors turned or replaced and to thoroughly clean the mounting flange on the vehicle and carefully check for runout before returning the vehicle to service use.
