This set here just keep calling my name though.

Also for you guys in the know how. Do the Brake Pad Damping Plates need to be replaced when I change the rotors and brake pads? Never saw them replaced in the videos I have watched.

.
Fronts have a large rectangular plate with two posts on each plate. Two per caliper. Those fit into the pistons of the caliper. DO NOT tear the dust boot. Pop those out, get everyone else's glue / pad grease out of there and go from there.

Rears have a round disc in each piston, so four per caliper. No need to change any of them unless damaged, but likely not.

Go ceramic. Almost zero brake dust, super quiet, rotor wears super slowly.
