Finally got around to doing brakes all the way around
I'd say it was overdue.... just the basic powerstop package from rockauto, rotors, calipers, pads. Swapped out the front pads for Akebono, they fit fine. Obviously bled the system too. Even tried my hand at painting them, I'd say it turned out alright haha.
In the shop we often will spray paint center portion of the rotor (or buy ones already painted). Simple spray paint, after cleaning rotor with brake clean, will keep rust away for a decent amount of time. Makes rotors look nice.
At this point we have bunch of old boxes left from the rotors with holes cut so they fit variety of rotors and mask surface that actually touches the brake pad.

I wish i would have done this, these pics are from a month ago - the rotors are already rusted anywhere the pad doesn't contact the rotor lmao. Oh well, it's not like I paid some premium I suppose.
Brembos require an additional step in the bleeding process. You must bleed the inside pistons, then the outside pistons on each of the front calipers in sequence. Just in case someone stumbles on this thread looking for that answer.
