replacing pads on a DB9 - mini review
Discussion
just embarking on replacing front and rear pads on a 9, i have seen a Aston mechanic do this and it looks pretty simple to me, and i am fairly skilled with my hands ( so the gf says!)
i have yellow stuff pads in, and replacing with the same, any tips or things to concern me would be great to hear
btw, a brief review on AM pads - went through both front and rears at 10,000 miles, thats with one track day. yellow pads still going strong, i will replace at 16,000 (with 2 track days and some high speed stuff in Europe) (done 13,000 so far in them) very little brake dust, great feel, good at low speed and high speed, and none of that squeaking noise going on.
costs AM £452.8 vs yellows £243.8 (pads alone) ----- per mile AM 45p vs yellows 15p per mile

Surely you need more than just your middle finger to change the pads? i have yellow stuff pads in, and replacing with the same, any tips or things to concern me would be great to hear
