decided on the
DBA Slotted DBA425S Rotors from autospeed
gonna go the racebrake pads(RB74s/Comp2s)

after saturdays cruise my front pads are kind of..well....on their last legs, and after the 'incident' at the end of the cruise, im not really hesitating in getting them changed

briefly on the pads and rotors i did them myself the other day.

-Take off wheel
-If doing the right side turn steering wheel to the right vice versa as it gives you more leverage to undo both caliper bolts.
-Take off caliper and remove pads.
-Take off caliper support housing two bolts behind disk.
-Now the rotor is free to take off.
-Put in new rotor.
-Put caliper support housing back on.
-Use a G-clamp to push caliper piston back
-Insert new pads.
-Put caliper back on.
