Video Taken Down

Got an 06 TL (AT Navi), 93,500 miles and ORIGINAL brakes. I noticed the YouTube video has been removed, and the owner's account closed. Anyone else have any good video resources.

CMAX comes with their own shims (at least on TL-S/Base 6MT). Grease between the outside of the shim and the pistons, dont reuse the shims from the old brembos and use the new springs that came with the pads.
