Brake pads and fluid

My front brake pads were getting low and I was due for fresh brake fluid. I scored a set of Akebonos on RockAuto for less than $70 (these match my rear pads that I previously replaced).

I had considered a track day with the F31 in early October so I flushed the system with RBF600, but I never made it to the track. I used the "dry" method with a Motive Power Bleeder, which works great as their is no cleanup.

The brakes feel great. The new pads have a similar feel to OE pads, but without all of the dust.

The kids helped. :-)
