What should I expect during installation and first use?

Installation follows standard front brake pad replacement procedures and typically requires basic hand tools and a safe jack. After installation, allow a bedding-in period over mixed driving conditions to seat the pads and rotors; this helps achieve optimal braking feel and reduces uneven wear. If you notice unusual noise or vibration, recheck hardware torque, pad orientation, and rotor condition.

• Direct replacement with no modification required
• Perform pad bedding for best initial performance
• Inspect rotors and hardware; replace if excessively worn
