Does anyone have information or website I can take a look? I want to replace with some hawk pads, the 2005 coupe got pretty crappy brake pad stock.

 

Do a quick search and you should find a few, I used a couple write ups from the forum and a couple I googled when I changed my own last year. Wasnt that bad, but I wouldnt recommend it unless you have a good jack and jack stands.

 

Yeah, I did mine a couple months ago. It's not too difficult. Use the Service Manuals for guidance (see the sticky thread at the top of the forum)

hope it helps...

 

remove wheel
remove caliper
remove old pad
insert new pad (with new shims)
reinstall caliper
reinstall wheel

not too difficult

 

If you got brembos, then this DIY thread will work for you:

about reinstalling the calipers, do you need a special tool to push in the piston? or can you just push it in by hand.

 

Channel Locks work well, but you *can* buy a piston compressor.... they're a piece of cake to change, took me 15 minutes per axle and all I used was my crappy oem jack...
