Akebono Euro ceramic premium brake pads, found the part #'s for my car on Akebono's website and then ordered from amazon, waiting for my front rotors to arrive, and then i'll swap out the fronts and the rears (rear brakes were done in november) so just need to swap out the pads...

StopTech rotors, pads, ECS stainless rotor set screw, and paint. Like the fronts, took about 6 hours, per wheel. Painted caliper, mount, and dust shield. Lotsa prep work, eg., sanding, cleaning with wire wheel, etc...

Used VHT paints. Dust shield - primer and satin black base coat. Calipers - primer, base coat, and clear coat.

Put on a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport's. Odd thing is the rears (275/35/19) have the "OEM star" while the fronts don't.
