I'm a rookie here so be nice!
I have ordered some new brake pads for my "S" to hopefully reduce the brake dust on my wheels. Any advice from any body out there about changing pads would be appreciated. Don't be afraid to speak fundamentally!
Thanks!

Well... I was going to speak fundamentally, but
I'm not bi-lingual. I barely know english. :smile:

Godspeed.

I'd like to know too. I'd rather do it myself than pay someone else to do it.

Hey guys, Randy Webb has some great How-To's on his site. Here is his brake install. Take a look around for other How-To's and product reviews, etc. Good luck!

It's not too bad. I did my front pads about a month ago (do a search on 'ungodly squeal' and you should find it) with EBC Greenstuffs, and I've been pleased with the results.

Couple of links I used:
