Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is vital for the performance of the FDB3M set. Since these pads are designed to be used without extra accessories, ensure that your existing brake calipers are cleaned of debris and rust before fitting the new pads.
Compatibility Checklist:
- Verify your vehicle model year matches the classic lineups for Alfa Romeo, Porsche, VW, BMW, Opel, or Saab.
- Ensure your caliper does not require a wear sensor connector, as this pad set does not include one.
- Consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct torque specifications for your specific caliper mounting hardware.
Care Instructions:
- Perform manual brake pad inspections every 5,000 miles or annually.
- Avoid heavy, sustained braking during the first 200 miles to allow for proper bedding.
- Keep brake dust levels low by cleaning your wheels regularly with an appropriate, non-acidic wheel cleaner.
