Pads on the front are super easy. remove the tire, remove the bottom bolt of the caliper and the caliper swings up and the pads litteraly slide out, loosen the bleeder screw, compress the brake piston with a c clamp, tighten bleeder screw, then lube your caliper pins with brake grease, put in your new pads (also lube the contact points on the back of the pads to eliminate squeeking) tighten down the caliper, put the tire back on, and you are done.

Sounds good.

I guess I'll just go with some ceramics up front to eliminate as much dust as possible, and go with normal carbon ones in back.

Will I notice any difference in braking response? Like I said, I'm pretty sure I'm running everything stock on the brakes right now, no work has been done on them at all as far as I know.
