Installation Notes

When installing the EBC BSD Rotors, it's crucial to note that if you're upgrading the rear pads, the front pads should also be upgraded to maintain balanced braking performance. The Thermic Black coating on the rotors does not need to be removed before installation; it will wear off in the pad-swept area after the first 10 to 20 stops. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove this coating, as it is not covered under EBC's warranty.
