If they're the same as the S13's...which they should be...it's a piece of cake. The only thing that might be hard is getting the pads to go into the spring-clips. The trick here is to slide the the pad in perpendicular to the way they're supposed to go, and then rotate them 1/4 turn into position. Also, you can't compress the piston with a C-clamp; you have to get a special tool (pliers will do just fine) and rotate clockwise (righty-tighty) until they fit over the new pads. &nbsp;Should take you fifteen, twenty minutes tops if you have any idea what you're doing.

Yep, that's about it. The 'hard' part that everyone always talks aobut is that you will have to rotate the piston in the caliper until you have enough room to slip the pads on. That's it, not that hard; unless you have a frozen 'dead' caliper like I did......That sucked!

yea, i started replacing my rear pads and was a little confused on the piston, it wouldn't go back in and i was like WTF!!??!! &nbsp;should've read my manual better, you have to turn it like everyone keeps saying <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>
