Using these brake pads is simple. Just have them installed by a professional mechanic or follow the vehicle's repair manual if you're experienced. When driving, you'll notice improved stopping right away. As for maintenance, regularly check the brake pads' thickness. If they're getting thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep the braking system clean to avoid dirt and debris buildup. Don't use these brake pads in extreme racing conditions not meant for street - legal use. This will ensure they last longer and perform at their best.
