Any advice on brake pad brands and any tips on carrying out the work as this is the first time on a rr would be greatly appreciated

I purchased some Brembo pads for mine last year, combined with Brembo discs I'm very impressed with them. Ensure you get the correct pads though, there's a few different types depending on your specific model. You 'll have a pad wear sensor too.

It's a Pretty straight forward task, don't allow the weight of the caliper to pull on the brake line, you'll risk damaging it.

Thanks Robhew86 The disks look pretty much in good nick so wasn't planning to change them unless it's recommended ?
