The formulation is designed for high friction response, strong initial bite, pedal control, modulation, and resistance to brake fade.

The Active Performance line is intended for spirited street driving and performance use. Confirm that the vehicle configuration matches the application table.

The high performance formulation may produce brake noise and dust on some vehicles. Vehicle condition, rotor condition, and driving conditions can also affect these characteristics.

Compare the vehicle year, make, model, submodel, rear position, and existing brake configuration with the fitment table before purchase.

Inspect the rotors, caliper hardware, pad contact surfaces, and related rear brake components. Replace damaged or worn components according to the vehicle service information.

Installation Instructions

1. Confirm that 1115-1180-01, the vehicle year, make, model, submodel, rear position, and brake configuration match the fitment table.
2. Review the vehicle service manual and gather approved support stands, suitable hand tools, eye protection, brake cleaner, and brake lubricant for approved contact areas.
3. Park on a stable surface, secure the vehicle, loosen the wheel fasteners, and support the vehicle according to the service manual.
4. Remove the rear wheel and release the rear caliper components according to the vehicle service procedure. Support the caliper without loading the brake hose.
5. Remove the existing pads and inspect the rotor, caliper, piston boot, slide hardware, pad abutments, and supplied mounting hardware for wear or damage.
6. Clean approved contact areas with brake cleaner. Install the new rear pads and mounting hardware in the correct orientation, using lubricant only where the service information permits.
7. Reinstall the caliper and wheel. Tighten all fasteners and wheel hardware to the vehicle manufacturer specifications.
8. Press the brake pedal several times until a firm pedal is established. Check the brake fluid level and inspect for leaks before moving the vehicle.
9. Complete the vehicle manufacturer or technician recommended bedding procedure in a safe location. Test braking at low speed before returning to normal driving.
