This EBC S2 brake kit features Greenstuff pads and USR rotors, offering high - performance braking for your Subaru. A key point: don't install upgraded pads at the rear of the vehicle unless the front is also upgraded. The Thermic Black coating on the rotors is an anti - corrosion layer for long - term rust resistance. There's no 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. After installation, the brake pads will remove the coating in the swept area within the first 10 - 20 stops. This kit fits various Subaru models from 2005 - 2018, including Forester, Legacy, and Outback models with different trims.

Hey there! Using this EBC S2 brake kit is a breeze. First, make sure if you're upgrading the pads, you do it for both front and rear or just the front. When installing, don't worry about taking off the Thermic Black coating on the rotors; it's there to protect against rust. Just put the kit on as you normally would. Once you've installed it, take your car for a short drive and make about 10 - 20 stops. The brake pads will do the work of removing the coating in the areas they sweep. Now, for the no - no's. Don't use brake cleaner or any other methods to try and remove the coating, or your EBC warranty won't cover it. For maintenance, regularly check the brake pads for wear. If they seem too thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep an eye on the rotors for any signs of damage or excessive wear. That's all you need to know to keep your braking system in top shape!
