FAQ
Does this kit cover all four wheels?
Yes. You receive two front pad sets (choose FA656R or FA680R based on your variant) and two rear FA456R pad sets—enough for every caliper.
How do I know if I need FA656R or FA680R for the front?
Choose by variant using the fitment table above. Non-XP = FA656R. XP = FA680R. If you’ve upgraded to XP calipers on a non-XP machine, select the XP (FA680R) variant.
Can I mix these pads with my existing rotors?
Yes, provided rotors are within spec and not excessively grooved/warped. For best results, pair with fresh or resurfaced rotors.
