Are rotors and discs the same thing in a car's braking system?

Are brake pads the same as brakes, or are they different components in a vehicle's braking system?
Brake pads are a component of the braking system in a vehicle, not the same as the brakes themselves.

The brakes refer to the entire system, including components like the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid.
Should you change both calipers at once?
Calipers do not have to be changed in pair unless both are bad, however the pads should be changed on both at the same time, since they come as a set, and you can use them to detect brake issues from one side to the other, by wear of the pads.
Are front brake pads and front brakes the same?
The brake pads are a part of the braking system. Many people do refer to the brake pads as "the brakes", but you'll need to make sure the rotors and calipers are working properly as well.

i thought it was going to be difficult too but it is really quite simple, its exactly the same as doing front pads you dont need to worry about the hand brake at all. There is two bolts that hold the brake calipers in place, undo those pry the pads back to get some clearance and slot the new pads in and bolt back up.

There is a set screw on the back of the Caliper that you turn to compress the piston. You use the same set screw to adjust the brakes when you change brake pads.
Are brake disc and rotors the same thing?
No, brake discs and rotors are not the same thing. Brake discs are the flat, circular metal component that the brake pads clamp onto to slow down the vehicle. Rotors, on the other hand, are the spinning part of the wheel assembly that the brake disc is attached to.
Do you compress front brake calipers the same way as rear calipers on a 2006 ford freestyle?
No need to rotate the front caliper pistons as you compress the front calipers. That process is only for the rear calipers because of the parking brake mechanism.
