Default Small rewire project

Since it was raining and I did not want to get wet removing the roof rack (that will be another post altogether) I rewired my switch panel due to some rubbing with the HVAC control head.

No Brembo. I was all about being "OEM" and went with Brembo rotors/pads. Rotors are great but the pads turned my rims gold.

Akebono makes pretty awesome brakes for EURO cars. As for rotors, they are just giant hunks of steel, but I went with the zinc coated ones that NAPA auto parts makes, because our winters are rough and rust on your rotors decreases cooling and increases warping potential. I'm very happy with my decisions, and have been riding great for 2 years now.

I'm dreading doing the rear brake/rotors.

akebono euro ceramic - highly reccomended
silent, stop great, and about as dust-free as you can get

I am looking at a kit from FCPEuro for the front brakes.. It includes 1 wear sensor.. Is it only on 1 side? Do i need to replace that if i successfully remove the current one installed?

just 1 sensor front, and 1 rear
go ahead and replace when you do the new pads
