Shouldn't take no longer than 1-2hr for pads, depending if you get a newbie or a pro. <--- cause they would charge you hourly.

Cant tell you from the top of my head cause i had my rotors put on at the same time.

Took me 2hrs to change pads, fluid, and rotors. But I'm not a mechanic. They probably won't take 2-3 hours but they'll charge ya that.

My Endless SSS pads have finally been bedded in and perform like a star. No squealing anymore and the biting power is noticeably better.

how much should they charge, or what's a reasonable price?? I'm guessing that all pad changes come with a brake fluid change or am i wrong to think that?

**Crapdaz** · 02-10-2008 07:27 AM

you are wrong.
depends if you want to change but recommended you should change unless you recently got your fluids changed recently.

*bump*

just wondering if the front/rear brake pads for the euro are generic across the range. i.e. do they fit dc5, civic etc etc...

anybody have any personal experience with aftermarket pads at a reasonable price?

**BusterSonic12** · 14-04-2009 12:40 PM

dc5R's pads dont fit in the euro. that's for sure.

I was using stock pads on wakefield twice so far, and recently just put in some new dixcel type m pads for the front and rear still running stock. heading down to wakefield tomorrow, so i shall let you guys know how it goes =)
