Brake Pads
I have a 2002 C32 AMG. I wanted to do the brake pads myself. Is there anything special I need to do? I bought the best pads that Kragen had listed for the C32. They're semi-metallic, and he said this is what it says to put on. Shouldn't they be ceramic? I don't really care either way, but I don't want to screw up my rotors.
Do I need to do anything special, or is this is just like changing the pads on any other normal car? Thanks in advance!

Here's diagram for the front rotors. Really simple. The hardest part is getting the pistons retracted, but no more so than any other car. If you've done brakes before, it's a simple job.
I used EBC Red Stuff ceramics, but semi-metalic should be OK.
