Default Brake job

I am considering doing my own brakes seeing as though that dumb icon (O) keeps popping up on the HUD. When I went online to buy pads and front rotors I find 2 diff. sizes..312x25mm or 255x12mm rotors. I have no clue what is on my car now. So I don't know what pads to get. I feel very lost. Brakes surprisingly are the one thing I have never tackled on my own. But when I hear that there is a big price tag at the "stealership," I figured I would attempt it.

You found your front and rear rotors sizes ))
Fronts are always bigger

A lot of people go w/Hawk pads, but there are other choices. Consider getting slotted rotors, for a nice touch and upgrade.

A lot of choices, but like KWIK said, HAWK HPS is the most common choice.
