DIY - Brake Pads Vehicles With: Brembo 6Piston Brake Caliper

[Optimum Performance]

and to add to the OP's front post, if removing the rotor, use blue thread compound on the caliper mounting bolts.

The only things that I would add are 1) the caliper piston is rotated clockwise to move it back into the caliper (the picture implies that it should be rotated counter-clockwise) and 2) be careful to move the little accordion boot that protects the outside of the piston back before screwing the piston back into the caliper. I have had them catch and tear.

Any idea of expected pad life for the original Brembos? I'm at 18K miles and still seem to be stopping well. Not sure when to change the pads.

Assuming you go do the 10K, 20K, 30K, etc., mile services at your dealer (hahhahaha) they will tell you when your pads are poofed.
