Well, I have the new pads on.. It took about 2.5 hours, definately not bad at all.. Everything went real smooth, and the pads feel great.

They're Hawk ceramic pads.

I got them from this thread on my350z.com:

He has the HP+ and HPS pads from Hawk also. I just wanted something quiet without any brake dust so I went with ceramic.
I don't think I'll take my car somewhere to have brake pads put on ever again. Not half as bad as I thought. The part that took the most time was jacking up the car and taking the wheels off.

Yeah, by the time I knew about you I already ordered them. Next time I need something I'll come to you.
By the way, There's about 4-5 companies selling those pads on my350z.com and they're by far the cheapest.
He sold them to me for $120 shipped for all 4. How much could you have beaten that price by?

Sounds good to me.. Even if you can just match the price I'd rather buy from someone local. :thumbsup:
