    Front Rotor replacement How-To

    Here's a link to a little project I did today: How to replace your front brakes.

    I replaced my front rotors with new OEM rotors and replaced the pads with EBC Reds.

    I like the feel of the pads thus far. They're still very new and are just starting to bed in.

    Hope it helps someone.

    Thanks Kfab!!! Nice write up. I may just do this. Perfect timing!
    And I DO know the difference between a philips and a flathead, so just maybe I'll succeed!

    easy to replace pads and rotors.

    if the pins are stuck, just remove the caliper and put the pads in from the inside, leave the pins, it's just very tight to get the backing plates back on (I left them out, no problem so far!, drilled out drivers side then figured D'ooh don't need to)
