That is just what they say to use. I sued the stuff that came with my axxis pads, no problems. If you plan to turn the rotors, which you should do, you will need an impact screw driver to remove the rotors and new screws (dealer item)to secure the rotors. The C clamp is very useful to compress the brake piston. The rear brake piston is threaded, and needs to be screwed back in, careful not to tear any rubber boots. If you do the back brakes, will need to adjust the parking brake after.
