Default Rear brake pad replacement

I've done search on this subject but haven't found any good instruction. I would of have done it at the dealer but $380 for rear pad replacement with rotor surfacing is too harsh.

Does anybody done it themselves?
What pad do you recommend?
Any link or simple instruction?

I have 2002 SC430.

thanks in advance.

There's a few choices out there for you. You can always go with stock pads and rotors. I put a StopTech big brake kit on the front so I chose to go with StopTech cross drilled rotors and Axxis pads on the rear. The rear brakes are not hard to do at all.

i got the stoptech setup for the rear as well. it's pretty easy to do. there is a clip on the caliper, you take it off and then the two "studs" can come out, and then the pads are out
