Default New Brakes all around

Just installed a new set of pads and rotors. So far so good. If you need to replace brakes do it yourself. It's super easy and saves you a few hundred dollars on the install. This is the kit I used. Less than $450 for pads and rotors.

I always use two wrenches, for leverage.

I used my impact wrench but a regular wrench will do. I use a hammer on the handle of the wrench if the bolt is too tight, just to loosen it a little.
