how many miles.......front usually go first, ive never changed both at the same time, have you looked at how much you got left on them

and if you've done all that so far (muffler, battery...and you got a manual).......you'll have no problems changing your pads, they are a lil tricky, but got it

tools neede are minimal

I've used EBC organic and Lyndall Gold pads, both worked great. If you have OEM pads on both ends, I'd change both of them to get the most out of your brakes.

EBC pads here as well, with Perf.Machine calipers. Great brakes.

I went with Lyndall Gold pads as well and I'm very happy with their stopping ability. I have dual discs, so 3 sets of pads. Pretty easy job, just take your time and study first. Definitely flush the brake fluid as well; very important. Good luck!

Here's a good video from Delboy that explains the rear brake.
