Rotor and Brake pad change with R1 Concepts DIY

Hey all!

Brake pad and rotor changes are relatively simple work, and no doubt lots of folks here will be familiar with it. That said, I always try to share the work I do so those that don't know or need a refresher can get it easily and in great detail.

This especially with things like torque values and other fine details that aren't so obvious.

My F32 at roughly 66k miles, the pads were about due, and might as well do the rotors at the same time. I went with the slotted and drilled from R1 concepts along with their pads.

All in all an easy project and a GREAT way to save a ton of shop time if you can do the work yourself.

As always, I welcome your feedback!

I have the R1 Geomet Rotors and pads. They're good. My only gripe is the pads dust like crazy. I painted the hats with VHT high temp paint as well.
