Tonight Wobz was treated to some brake pads that won't turn her wheels black. EBC Red Stuff pads went in tonight (new compound) on the front 6-pot calipers. The rears are running the stock calipers with OEM pads at this time.
Finished the job in a record-breaking (to me) half hour, including the time to jack the car up, take off the wheels, and figure out how the f#$@ to insert the pads and not have that stupid clip at the end prevent the pad from going in. Whoever thought of this design needs to be shot.
The new pads are RED in color, hence the name. They look nice contrasting with the Imola and the yellow calipers. :)
I'll post pics installed tomorrow when there's light out.

Compared to the Hawk HP+ pads I had in there before.

OMG YES! the stupid clip is terrible. I then to push the clip and slip with with my other hand to the pegs. It's tedious but you get the hang of it if you do it alot. They seriously should've made it removable pads without removing the caliper...like stoptechs/aftermarket brembos.
Nope, can't do that. Reason: that would make sense. :shiftyQuote:

Yea, that part of the pad adds 10% more time to the whole project. I find pinching it a little before trying to insert it helps considerably.
So, today I have an E36 M3 in my driveway instead of Wobz.
It's Avus Blue with an indicated 152k on the odometer, black Vaders.
No, I didn't get rid of my car. It's in the shop, from a surprise "fuck you" incident on the way home on Thursday. The driveshaft decided that it wanted to bang around in the tunnel, causing a racket that nearly gave me a premature heart attack. Car was flatbedded, and still don't have any news on it.
My guess is Center Support Bearing, which is odd because my BMW tech friend said he's never had to replace one before, nor has he ever seen one of his colleagues have to replace one. Of course the freak accident stuff happens to me. lol
So I get to drive this M3 as a loaner, and I'm afraid to say, I enjoy driving this car more than Wobbie... :(
How bout some pics!
Best loaner ever...
