Don't upgrade rear pads unless you've upgraded the front ones too. The Thermic Black coating on the discs rotors is an anti - corrosion layer for long - lasting rust resistance. You don't need to remove it before installation. Avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove this coating as it's not covered by the EBC warranty. The brake pads will naturally remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation. This product fits multiple Subaru models including the 2010 - 2012 Legacy 2.5GT, 2006 - 2009 Legacy 2.5i, and many Outback models from 2005 - 2009.

How to use: Install the brake kits on your Subaru vehicle following standard brake installation procedures. Remember not to upgrade the rear pads without upgrading the front ones first. Things to note: Do not try to remove the Thermic Black coating using brake cleaner or other methods as it's an anti - corrosion coating and such removal is not covered by the warranty. Maintenance advice: Check the brake pads and rotors regularly for wear. The coating will naturally be removed in the swept area by the brake pads within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation.
