If you know how to take off your wheel I can walk you through it over the phone. It's SO easy, I wish all cars had Brembos.

all you need is a tire iron, a hammer and a nail. (And a screwdriver to scrape off the backing plate on the old pad.)

thanks for the help guys. i was driving tonight though i shouldnt have and almost rearended my friends teg and also had a little trouble slowing down from high speeds. i know it wa a bad idea driving on those brakes but we had a huge group of cars going to a import sceen thing so i couldnt help myself.
P.S. the breaks were still good enough to manhandle a s2000 through some twistys

What brand of pads? Hopefully not something cheap. Using the shim from your brembos will help with the squeal.

Quick question. Should you turn the rotors when you change the brake pads?

(to lazy to use the search tool) Flame away if needed.

No, but the rotors need to be scuffed or blanchard ground. If you are experiencing brake issues at the time of pad change such as vibration, then the problem needs to be addressed at that point.
