    Can I just replace my carbon rotors and pads for the steel equivalent? Or is there more to do?
    I'm swapping because I want to preserve the original discs.
    Thanks

    That's great to hear thank you. Just to confirm, it's as straight forward as remove Carbon discs and pads, and re fit with the steel equivalents?

    Thanks again

    Note that your cluster will continue to record CCM wear.
    You will have a wear inconsistency when you reinstall them (cluster >> actual)

    Anyone with a Leonardo or equivalent can reconfigure the dash to steel brakes. I wouldn't worry about it to much until the wear indicator turns on in the dash.
