Swapping Pads

How easy is it to swap the pads on the Brembos?? Like for track days, should I reserve a good amount of time, do it before heading out to the track? Or is pad swapping pretty easy?

It's fairly simple, like most disk brake systems, IMO jacking the car and taking the wheels off is the most difficult and time consuming part.

if i can do it, anyone can..


Unlike honda's / acura's, you don't swing the caliper up to get the pads out......

Basically you knock the 2 pins out (they come out via the back of the caliper), which releases the pressure on the metal clip thing that holds the pads in place...... once that is removed, you just pull the pads out and put in new ones...... put the metal clip thing back in place and tap the 2 pins back where they belong.... done.
