Installation Notes

There's no need to remove the Thermic black coating before installation, as it will wear off in the pad swept area after the first 10 to 20 stops. This coating provides excellent resistance against rust, ensuring your rotors remain in top condition. Avoid using brake cleaner or any other methods to remove the coating, as this is not covered under the EBC warranty.
