Not to mention you will look and sound like a d-bag when you come to a stop every time, and make your ear bleed.

I've gotten so lazy I stop swapping pads out lol. I just try to time my full stop braking with nearby school buses or trucks haha. |
Lol... Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure not to swap in the track pads until an event. I watched some videos on YouTube on changing brakes. It shouldn't be too bad. I might practice anyway swapping out the pads this February with some low dust pads. I've had this car for 15000 miles already. It's probably almost time to change pads.
