At the front, remove the bolts holding the piston and caliper.

Before removing the piston and caliper, carefully slide the hydraulic brake line under the hold-down clip toward the piston assembly to allow some slack for easier removal. Remove the OE caliper.

Left: After installing the new rotor onto the spindle, replace the OE pad and piston assembly and make sure to slide the brake line back into the original position under the hold-down clip.
By using the 12-inch DecelaRotors on the front spindles, the entire assembly fit easily under the eighteen-inch wheel. If you have 20- or 22-inchers you’ll be able to utilize the 14-inch rotors on all four corners.

 

For the highway panic stop test, I rented a U-Haul trailer weighing 1,250 pounds and loaded it with almost 1,300 pounds of lube.
