From a practical point of view, we should pay attention to matching when selecting calipers. Generally, 4-piston calipers are enough for high-performance street cars. In addition, it is worth noting that although the weight of the brake caliper is similar, the high-grade brake caliper made of light metal (such as AP Racing, Brembo, etc.) is more than twice as light as the cast iron product, and the brake system is a part of the unsprung weight, and the load has a direct impact on the vehicle's handling. In addition, the heat dissipation performance of high-grade brake caliper is very high, which is very helpful to control the temperature of the brake system.

How to Install Front Brake Discs
Compare the new brake rotors to the old brake rotors to be sure both are the same design.
Remove the brake pads from the caliper and use a C-clamp or disc brake spreader to push the caliper piston back in its bore. While doing this, keep an eye on the master cylinder to ensure the fluid doesn’t get pushed out of the reservoir. If necessary, remove a small amount of fluid from the reservoir using a suction gun or fluid extractor. Do not remove all of the fluid from the master cylinder—that will allow air to enter the hydraulic system.

Install the new brake pads into the caliper or reinstall your old pads if you’re reusing them.

Install the new brake rotor on the wheel hub.
Reinstall the caliper mounting bracket (if so equipped). Use a torque wrench to tighten the mounting bracket bolts to the manufacturer’s specification.
Position the caliper over the rotor.

Use a torque wrench to tighten the caliper mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specification.
Top off the master cylinder reservoir if you extracted fluid during step #2.
Reinstall the wheel/tire assembly on the lug nuts.
Using a ratchet and socket, tighten the lug nuts until they’re snug.
Safely remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle.

Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specification.
Warning: Before driving the vehicle or taking the transmission out of park, pump the brakes several times to ensure they feel firm. Your car will have little to no braking ability until the brakes are pumped, allowing the caliper piston to return to its original position.
First, pump the brakes with the engine off. Then start the engine (transmission in park and the emergency brake set) and pump the brakes again.

DO NOT drive the car until the brakes feel solid..

Front Brake Disc Replacement Tips

It’s highly recommended to replace both your brake discs and brake pads at the same time. The brake discs should always be replaced as a pair, as well.
