Looks good, but mostly commenting just to thank you for spelling “brakes” correctly.
Also, love the wheels. Would much rather have those than my Austins.

My favorite wheels, love my 2017 Sport!
Sport dude, looks good! Original calipers, new rotors and pads? What did you go with? I’m at 58k with all original and still 30% remaining on pads. Crazy bit I’m a grandpa so don’t drive like a banshee, probably going to freshen them up soon.
Changing pads? Pretty easy. Rotors? Easy. Changing calipers? Just a little harder. Assuming you have the right tools, and some mechanical ability, after watching a few videos you should be able to comfortably do it yourself.
Every time I see clean Nagoros I remember how I dropped one of my wheels on its face when I was swapping to my aftermarket wheels and it makes me cringe every time, because now one is all pitted from the the concrete.
It's wild what a fresh set of pads/rotors does. I waited till 90k. Upgraded to Zimmerman and performance low dust pads as mentioned in some other comments. Followed the bed-in process to the letter and it is hands down best brakes I've felt on any car I've driven (other than an M3).
I'll always love the look of fresh brakes.
I'm trying to burn off my current pads this year so I can finally move to a better pad for my needs. I could just swap them now, but I want to get my monies worth out of them. So once I burn through the EBC Reds, I'll drop some Gloc R8's in their place.

I’m jealous. Your Nagoros and calipers are mint. Mine look like they spent 7 years on salty roads and construction sites
The Florida weather is good to her ☀️🙏🏻

I got brembo rotors and ceramic pads off of TireRack. They’ve been great so far and no more brake dust! Not too expensive either
Thanks and good to know. About the same braking performance with ceramic that you can tell?
Is it very difficult to do it yourself, or would you recommend taking it to a shop?
I haven’t done brakes in a very long time, maybe a question for other folks on this page. I suspect it’s not that difficult at all.

Sport buddy! The best wheels!

Those rims are way better than the ones my 23’ came with
Probably almost time for some fresh tires too unless it's just the angle...
