Clean the hub face, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper torque procedures during installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, and the pad surface is prepared to reduce initial break-in time.

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented designs. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured, scorched, and assembled with premium shims for stable performance and improved NVH control.
