    you dont even touch them so don't worry. if you only gonna to change the front pads then your will only touch one bolt, the bottom one that holds the calipler, but if you change the rotors too then you'll touch 4 bolts, 2 holding the caliper bracket and one screw for the rotor and that other caliper bolt mention earlier.

    Good luck

    I think he's talking about changing the springpads, not the brake pads.
    Yes, I have a few mods, but they\'re so discrete, my wife hasn\'t noticed them.

    well in that case then NO you wont touch any of the buchings, and plus elvir are you gutsy enough to take on this task yourself?? its a lot harder than calling your dealer for a part # of the updated side skirt which you weren't able to do.
