break pads

hey i need to change my break pads and i had a couple of questions.

1) has anyone installed the break pads on their own? If so is it like any normal car or is there more too it. Also is it easy to do.

2) is there any suggestions on what kind of break pads to use. I wnated something with less break dust, but i heard that aftermarket break pads are squeaky when pressing the breaks.

1) it's pretty much the same as any other car. You will need to buy the sensors as well.

2) pretty much all organic pads are the same. If you are concerned about the squeaking, just buy a tube of break quietner for 5 bucks.
