Hello!

I have the Bradi rotors and Axxis pads on the way, and was curious about a few things. I know replacing the rotors is no big deal, but I have never put new pads on my car, and was hoping some of you had some advice. What is the best way to compress the piston to allow for the thicker new pads? Anything different or weird with the rear set up?

Also, any recommended brake fluid? I will be flushing the system and bleeding the brakes, so I'd like to know what you guys with upgraded systems are using.

Thanks,

David

It's pretty straight forward up front, but the rear has special retainers that are a PITA. Just do one side at a time and you should be ok.

Why are you bleeding the whole system? You do know it's not necessary, right?

Thanks for the advice.

I know that a complete brake fluid flush is part of the 60K service, but I elected to not have that part of the service performed. The car now has 72K on it, so I thought if I'm going to put new rotors and pads on all 4 corners, it would be a good time to flush the system and replace the fluid.

If it isn't necessary, than I will just bleed the brakes after I install the new rotors and pads, and use whatever DOT brake fluid is recommended

Thanks again!
