Is there a special tool I need to replace brake pads front/rear on my evo? if so where do i get it? Is there anything different I should note when changing evo brakes in comparison with any other cars brakes.

What ak47po said but you don't have to take off the caliper to use the clamps. Also, loosen the cap on top of your brake/master cylinder to allow the fluid to move up and down (which is you pushing the pistons into the caliper). I used a c-clamp and my brake pads to help me push the pistons back into the calipers to make it easier to install (use a lot of towels as to not scratch your calipers). Once you finish one caliper, you'll figure out better ways to do the rest, it can all be down in less than an hour. Good luck!

Oh, and don't forget to sand off the old pad material on your rotor w/ some sandpaper and don't forget to bed in your pads as per your manufacturer.

That how to is way more work than I'd be induced to do. No need or reason to remove the calipers unless changing rotors. All I've ever used to push pistons in is an old pad - one you just pulled out. They work great for this. That and a small but long punch to knock out the pins and you are golden. So, the only brake tools you need are a punch and some grease or brake quiet to put on the backs of the new pads.
