Installation Notes
When installing the EBC S5KF Kit, remember that the Thermic Black coating on the rotors is designed to remain intact during installation. This coating acts as an anti-corrosion layer, providing long-lasting protection against rust. It will wear off naturally in the pad swept area after the first 10 to 20 stops, so there's no need to remove it beforehand. Avoid using brake cleaners or any other methods to remove this coating, as this will void your 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.
