Using the DBA XP650 rear brake pads is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle model is one of the compatible ones: 2003 - 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution 8 & 9, 2004 - 2017 Subaru STI, or 2003 - 2009 Nissan 350z. When installing, it's best to pair them with DBA T3 slotted rotors for optimal performance, but they also work well with other DBA 4000 & 5000 Series rotors, stock rotors, or aftermarket performance rotors. For the bedding process, thanks to the scorched finish, it will be fast. Just drive normally for a short while to let the pads settle in. When using these pads, keep in mind that they are designed for high - performance driving like on the track or in auto - cross. They can handle heavy towing loads, but don't overload your vehicle too much. To maintain them, check the friction level regularly. If you notice a significant drop in performance or strange noises when braking, it might be time to replace them. Also, be aware of the heat range of 150 - 1380°F. Avoid pushing the brakes to extremely high temperatures for long periods to ensure the pads last longer.
