for making pad change too damn easy. once you do the 1st one and see what u have to do it takes about 2-3 minutes per caliper to change these, so i dont know why would anyone pay anyobody a dollar to change out their pads, if you can take your wheel off, check psi in your tires, you can do this.
so i got new pads but never got time to change them, so today i finally did.
i noticed at the autoX that i really dont have that stopping power that porsche should have, somethign felt jsut alittle too weird, and being in patricks S didnt help hahah.
so i changed the pads today, and check out in what condition they were in.
the front ones were i would say halfway burned, and back ones were... well just look, light was just waiting to go off.
made sure to tap the brakes a few times (i was w a friend when he was changing pads on his car, and he rolled into his dads new truck after a brake change, that wasnt fun to watch)
took the car for a spin,and WOW, night and day diff.
sometimes soon patrick (Sammy on here) will bleed my brake fluid, so that should help too
