Just like the title says, with the search down and all, I looked through the faq's page, and looked about 10 pages back, so I need some help, what pads to get, anything special I should know? I used to do the brakes on my Lightning, but I remembering hearing it's a little different on these cars

1. remove caliper from caliper mounting bracket
2. take out old pads
2a. remove slippers from the sides of the old pads and put on the new pads
3. using a piston retractor tool, screw the piston back in
4. put the new pads on the rotor
5. put the caliper over the pads, press down really hard to compress the spring on the pads, and put the caliper mounting bolts back in. torque to 85 ft/lb
6. bleed brakes
