    I need to put on new pads and was wondering if there is a write up for it or is it pretty much straight through changing them.

    Not a problem if you post links from other places. We don't compete with other enthusiast forums. And WRXatlanta has good ties with HSPN.

    Super easy for the STi. You may have to use your old pads to press your caliper pistons in enough
    to get the new pads in. Just make sure not to scar your rotor or break the piston boots doing that.

    ^^I think brake spreaders are less than $15 at any autoparts store.

    you're welcome :) . I guess you were with Alex over Dean's house to get tint right? I was the guy who came over to get some stickers, I was driving the 06 STi. I was kinda in a hurry and I wasnt able to stay long.

    I use a kevlar ceramic right now. The EBC green stuff. The upper operating temperature is too low and I will be switching to Hawk HPS pads. They do keep my wheels clean and are quiet, but not optimal for autox. They really start to suck when its summer and I am autox'ing.
