That was about the easiest install yet. I replaced the front rotors and put on ceramic pads. The passenger side brake pads wore to the metal and damaged the rotor. I can't believe that I didn't notice the pads were bad, no squeaking or odd noises. I noticed the rotor looked odd when I was washing the car and upon further inspection....holy crap my pads worn down to metal!! Anyways, 30 minutes and the job was done.
my personal best was a single, broken, front wheel stud replacement AND both sets of front pads - in forty minutes. (i refused to miss a track session that day.)
Step one of every single install should be to open a beer (or Soda)...I repete step one a few times and then get to the install...always takes me 2-4 hours to do anything.
30 and 40 mins is super fast...Guess your skipping step one?
