Why Choose EBC Brakes Wear Leads?
Using the EBC Brakes Wear Leads ensures that you receive accurate feedback on your brake pad condition. This sensor is crucial for maintaining optimal braking performance and safety. By monitoring wear levels, you can replace your brake pads before they become dangerously thin, preventing potential brake failure.
Installation Notes
When installing, remember that if your wear lead is bonded within the brake pad set (common in brands like VW and Audi), you won’t need a separate lead. If it’s loose, however, this sensor is necessary. Also, do not fit upgraded pads to the rear of your vehicle unless the same upgrade is fitted to the front. The Thermic Black coating on the rotors is an anti-corrosion layer that should not be removed; it will wear off naturally after a few stops.

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.
