Changed my brake pads..

and flushed the brakes yesterday. I can't believe how easy it is to do this, the stealership wanted an arm and a leg for the service. I'm pretty sure the pads were factory original on my 2001 with 37K miles, they had Brembo stamped on the back. I replaced them with Mintex red box and the only problem was the wear sensors were a b$#ch to get in the new pads.

Does anyone know what the color of the factory brake fluid should be? Stupid me ordered the gold fluid just assuming the car had the blue, but there was already gold in there . Since I bought two liters of the new fluid I just tried to use it all, so I hope that was ok.

Instead of using the turkey baster to suck the fluid out of the reservoir for the flush I bought a flavor injector syringe for $1.99 and siliconed an 8" section of tubing to the end. It worked perfectly and cheap enough to just toss after the job.

Question: What is the average break in period for the new pads?
