Another update today! I love how fast and smooth everything is going on the installs.

So to start;

So first thing was removing the old brakes pads, so here is a shot of the new brake pads (Top) vs old (Bottom)



Close up on the new rear pads



Comparison of the New Pads for front (Top) and Old ones (Bottom)



Close up of the new Front pads



Bonus Sti shot haha



The whole kit and getting ready to install pads. Install is straight forward when it comes to brakes. The one piece calipers are awesome to work with. Just take the caliper off, haul the pins out on the inside part of the caliper and haul out the internals. Make sure to compress the Caliper pistons back in.
