I,ve got over 25,000 miles and barely had my cat a year-gotta get a winter car! Just wanted to get some opinions: 1. Did anyone else notice a difference for the worse when they had the brake recall taken care of? I seemed to have gotten a softer pedal feel, and I hate it-makes me nervous. It has gotten a little worse, so I'm thinking that it may be time for new pads. That would explain the increased pedal travel right? 2. How much of a pain is it to install new pads, and what kind should I get? Gotta save$$$! -I'll do install myself. 3. Can I change the spark plugs myself, I mean, are the rear bank accessible? Again, no way am I spending $$$ for something I can do myself. Just wish my YoDude would get here to take my mind off all the other things I need to do. Thanks everyone; See ya at C-fest2K1
