Just used this for my first pad change at 25k!  Wonderful write up.  The pads shuddered just before coming to a complete stop, but only for about 6 or 7 stops.  Now they seem to be perfect.  Have to go buy the 12 year old a new toothbrush though...

Na, it'll clean up.  I bet he doesn't even notice.   ;)

An update to this topic, as it seems to be relevant to some issues a fellow member is experiencing. My EBC pads are upwards of 12K miles, and still have some life left. After experiencing some antilock issues, I can confirm, the antilock unit is a solenoid type, and although not meant to be serviceable, it can be repaired, in a limited fashion. Hope the pics and info here helps out.
