Default Advice Please. Just got my EBC GreenStuff pads for front and rear

I've read the posts on changing pads yourself and the pros and cons of these particular pads so I won't go into that. What I would appreciate some input on is this:

1. The brakes on my TTQ are starting to squeak ever so slightly. After 44000km of normal and some "fun" driving I guess they're probably due. Were the brake sensors supposed to have indicated something to me before this?

2. The suppliers can fit all four pads for $100AUD including draining and changing brake fluid. Does that sound like a reasonable price? Is it too reasonable?

FYI, the pads were $172AUD + GST front and $91AUD + GST rear.

Default 4400Km is nowhere near worn out pads. They should last 40K miles...

and I have no idea what the conversion rate for AUD to USD is so I can't help you there. If it's 1:1 then it sounds like an OK deal.

The brake pad wear indicators will really scream if you get that far on most cars. If you have the electronic indicators, your dash light will come on.

Some help, sorry I couldn't help more.

EBCs provide somewhat better braking characteristics and significantly less dust.

Default Yes! on price of install...$50US is very good price....

If you have a 225 they will have to change out front drivers side brake sensor. Also make sure they champfer the leading and trailing edges of all the pads.
