Parts and fluids
Brake pads and rotors

- Rotors, replaced in pairs
- Hardware kit (clips and shims) if the pads do not include it

Search links open the retailer with your car in the search. Use their vehicle picker to confirm fit, and compare the part number with your old part.
Look these up for your car first

Bring these tools
