Pad and rotor replacement hardware
Sorry if this has been posted already, I looked in a bunch of places but didn't find anything definitive one way or another. I am going to be changing out my pads and rotors soon (both front and rear) and before I order the parts I'd like to know if I am supposed to be using new hardware everywhere.
I recently just replaced my front control arms, which I know calls for all new hardware, but none of the guides/videos I've seen on the brakes mentions it. Thanks in advance. |

The recommendation is to use new bolts on the pad carriers. I don't think it's necessary, some Loctite Blue will provide any necessary thread locking.

Car is at 56000 miles. Bought the car CPO off of a lease at 28000 miles in Dec 2018. I have full what I believe to be full service records (assuming the first owner/lessee didn't have any independent work done). No prior brake service done, with exception of fluid. The 28000 miles I've put on includes a few track days, as well
