Rotor hardware carries over in concept from the original car (Performance keeps larger ~355 mm fronts with 4-piston calipers). Regen does most braking. Inspect for rust/seizure rather than wear, and clean/lube calipers yearly in salt states. Electronic parking brake: use service mode for rear pads.
