Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, use a digital caliper to verify your current OEM disc dimensions to ensure the MD1171X is a direct replacement. Ensure your mounting hardware is clean and debris-free. During installation, it is critical to torque all mounting bolts to the manufacturer's specified values. To ensure proper break-in, avoid aggressive, emergency-style braking for the first 100 miles to allow the new rotor surface to 'bed-in' with your brake pads. Periodically clean the surface with a dedicated brake cleaner and inspect the drive buttons for any buildup of road grime or brake dust to ensure they remain free-floating.
