Default Focus LR / Mk1 - Swapping Brake Pads, Discs, and Painting Calipers in One Go

With all this isolation time the Focus projects continue lol

I swapped out the discs, pads and painted my calipers while I was at it. I think it turned out okay. Check out the step by step vid here if you want to, I recorded every stage:

We've got a similar brake set-up except I went for EBC Greens and I left my OE set-up on the rear. Thanks for posting up the vid and I hope you enjoy your EBC's. I know I do.
