I've got pads ordered for all 4 wheels. Any tricks or shortcut that I should now when changing out?

 

I just installed Hawk HPS pads on all fours along with new drilled/slotted rotors.
Tips:Front rotors may be seized. If so, saturate some lubricant around the hub. The OEM front rotors do not have bolt holes to break the rotor off the hub like the rears do. If the lubricant does not work, you can try heat to expand the rotor, or a large crow bar.I had to use my 24" crowbar to break one of the front rotors.
Other than that, clean all of the hardware like pins, guides, etc.. Spray some brake cleaner on the calipers to get the old gunk off and you are all set to move the pistons back (remove master cylinder cap first). The rears took me 5 minutes each side. The fronts 30 minutes on the seized side and 5 minutes on the other.
Very straight forward brake job.

 

Got the pads swapped out with no issues. The backs are very easy. Takes longer to get the tire off and on than changing out the pads. Fronts aren't bad. Need to use channel lock pliers on each side of the caliper at the same time to force the pistons back in, otherwise one goes in and the opposite goes out. Caliper piston tool doesn't work since there are double pistons. The EBC green pads sure stop great, and the pedal firmed right back up. Had 65K on the OEM pads. Backs really didn't need changed. Left front was the lowest, just through the split that goes half way through the pad. Both my front rotors came loose when the calipers were taken off. Since I didn't have any pulsing, I didn't have the rotors turned.
