Brake job

just did a brake job on my car. Used the Hawk ceramic pads, and I got to say, I've done a lot of brake jobs in my time but this was by far the easiest. From start to finish, 58 min. And that includes jacking up each individual wheel for the job. This was acutualy a pleasure to do.

Did you take any detailed pics so that you can post a DIY?

Also interested in your thoughts on the pad choice once they're bedded in and you have a chance to get a feel for them. I have the same ones awaiting the 2 pc Racing Brake rotors to be completed.

I can confirm this on my wife's G. Very easy.

I changed from stock to Hawk's because they were squealing despite still having a lot of life left. Same problem with the Hawk's. I turned the rotors (professionally, of course) and the passenger front still squeals and it drives me nuts. Yes I used

At this point I am considering putting the stocks back on (15 minute job) and taking it to the dealer. Any ideas?
