It takes 10min a side. And a screwdriver.

really? It was a lot more work on my GTI! Do I need the tool to press down the calipers?

and if I go with racing pads for track... I'd definately won't get Hawk for street, Pagids are GREAT

Just flip open the "cage" that holds the pads in. This takes 2 seconds if you get a good grip on it the first itme with pliers.

Insert flat head screwdriver into slot. Pry. Remove pads.

Insert new pads.

Close cage.

Done.

The rears are the PITA that require a tool. But I'd just leave those in.

Seriously 10 mins a side from the time you jack the car up, until you place it down with new pads installed.

Don't they run 200-400 a set for our calipers though?

If that's the case, maybe I'd look into that. I probably won't buy used, so they bed fine into rotor

oh no, Pagid Black (not race black) is like $130-$140

I've had my Hps pads on stock rotors/ecs rotors for 15k miles and never a squeal yet.

HPS on my GTI squealed after about 10K... mostly at lower speeds

is that what those blocks of aluminum and 14 inch discs are behind my wheels
