DIY pad change?
is it relativly simple to change the pads yourself? ive done my own brakes in the past, just wondering if the brembos are a little more difficult since im a driveway mechanic. i paid an arm and a leg at mitsu service and im not planning on givin them any more money.

lol. let's have a race.
I have done it 2 times on EVOs and 6 to 10 times on other cars. I cant see myself doing it faster than 1.5 because i dont have a car lift so i have to jack the car each wheel (pain in the ***) I took my time gressing everything right and I have 0 squeek with my freddo 2500

When I'm swapping pads I'm also not using the shims on my race pads. So that's some time saved there. No point in trying to reduce squeeling out there.

just tap out the pins, pull out the old pads, push back the pistons, drop in the new pads, tap the pins back in and you're done.
