Don't install upgraded pads on the rear of the vehicle unless the front is also upgraded. The Thermic Black coating on the rotors is an anti - corrosion layer that provides 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 coating will naturally wear off in the pad swept area within the first 10 to 20 stops after installation. This kit fits various models including 2001 - 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 2001 - 2012 Mitsubishi Galant, 2001 - 2006 Dodge Stratus, and 2001 - 2005 Chrysler Sebring.

Using this EBC S2 kit is easy. When installing, remember not to put the upgraded pads on the rear of your vehicle unless the front has the same upgrade. There's no need to remove the Thermic Black coating on the rotors before fitting them. Just install the pads and rotors as you normally would. After installation, during the first 10 to 20 stops, the brake pads will naturally remove the coating in the area they sweep. For maintenance, keep an eye on your brake performance. If you notice any strange noises or a decrease in braking efficiency, it might be time to check the pads and rotors. And always avoid using brake cleaner or other methods to remove the Thermic Black coating, as doing so will void the EBC warranty.
