Default Brakes installed [pictures]

As an interim until I can get a BBK, I decided to go with PowerSlot cryo slotted rotors and RedStuff pads.



... and with the wheel on...



I have the green caliper paint kit too... but I think that'll require more time than the hour it took me to change rotors and pads.

I'm ready to do the same job. Any special hang-ups about the procedure? I've done plenty but not on this one. Also, where did you buy parts.

do those pads have the wear sensor on them? I made the mistake of keeping the stock pads when I did the drilled/slotted brakes on mine and they have worn the pads down to almost nothing... so I will have to do them again and need to find a good aftermarket pad that still has the sensors in them.

nah, you can get normal pads and replace the sensor with a little copper wire to close the circuit, if you want.
that's all the sensor is, a copper wire in the pad that breaks if the pad is worn.

Yea... they have the sensor in them. [only the front left has the sensor].

the only hang up is getting the rotor off. mine were seized up on there. I used a mallet to get them off once the calipers and alignment screw were out.
