Default quick t/j: brade pads generally are a pretty easy DIY, correct?
Just wondering as a result of seeing that topic pop up a few times since I've been here.

PBR must be out of Northern Wisconsin to be named after that crappy beer.

Default yes, fronts are real easy, a spring clip holds them. backs take a little more time. there
should be a writeup on here or in the tech section. you'll probably need a caliper tool for the rears

I'm happy with Akebono ceramics. Feels a little better than stock and almost zero dust or noise.
