What is the benefit of the Geomet anti-rust coating on the rotors?

The Geomet coating on the rotors helps prevent rust and corrosion, especially in wet conditions. This keeps the braking surface clean and consistent, contributing to smooth braking performance and a better appearance over time.

How do I prepare the new pads and rotors after installation?

The EBC pads feature a patented Brake-in coating that helps them seat quickly onto the rotors. Follow EBC's recommended bed-in procedure, which typically involves a series of moderate stops, to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new brake components.

What is included in this brake kit besides the pads and rotors?

This kit includes the front brake pads and front brake rotors, along with caliper lube to aid in the installation process. It's a comprehensive package designed for a direct replacement of your stock front brake components.
