replacement pads? OEM or others?
I want to replace my pads- probably front and rear- by myself. Is there a DIY link here? anyone know roughly how long it takes to replace them yourself? (I have a floor jack but not a lift).
ALSO- I don't track this car (I do track the NSX and use AXXIS- which I like, but they do dust a bit). So... I'm fine with OEM pads, but would like to know what others think. Would like to keep costs low and have something that doesn't dust TOO much. thanks--

i did my fronts in about a half an hour... not too bad of a job - just loosen the top caliper bolt, remove the bottom bolt, swing the caliper up. remove the pads, push in the piston, and put back together. There is a DIY in the DIY forum.
I'm using Hawk HPS pads which were a pretty decent price. They seem to stop about as well as the stock pads (well maybe 20% better after they warm up a little bit, maybe like 90% of OEM on a cold stop) and have less dust then OEM.
Ceramics would be better for low dust (Hawk has then for a decent price as well)
