How to replace S90 Brakes? S90-V90

Thanks, sounds straight forward just like the 850s. I also checked the FAQ section in this forum and it mentioned shims. Can you confirm that there are SHIMS in both the front and rear? Do they go on both in-outboard of the pads?

On the other hand, I'm surprised to hear the previous poster say that PBR pads and Brembo replacement rotors didn't work well. I will make sure to keep it OEM up front.

On my 850t, I have stainless steel braided lines all around, EBC green pads and xdrilled rotors in front; same in the rear except for PBR pads. Braking is firmer and bites much harder than stock.

I know the brake pad issue has probably been discussed too many times, so no need to reignite this. Just want to share my experience on the setup mentioned above. Stock brakes will be good enough for my mother's S90.

Again, are there shims on the S90 brakes? THANKS!!!
