When changing from OEM to these brake pads, do you need any other parts? I think I remember reading something about some sensor that might need to be replaced as well? I could be wrong.

Im about to get these installed this Friday.. Heard they're phenomenal pads.. Obviously much less dust than the oem pads, looking forward to getting these on asap. And yea they're for street use. Im pretty sure it's just a simple swap, nothing else needs to be added.

The pads need a bit of heat in them to fully maximize the friction, but after that, you have tremendous stopping power!

There was a recent DIY brake thread, search and ye shall find. The sensors are extremely easy to swap out - as are the pads. I just did all four corners with R4S's and it was surprisingly easy.

Yes, on the passenger side (both f & r). I'll see if I can post some pics. But, simple needle nose pliers and a gentle tug will detach them from the pad area. And a 8 mm socket to detach from the caliper. Get in there and look around. This is easy!
