Forgive me if this is covered elsewhere however, can a quick change between street pads (OEM) and aftermarket (Pagid) pads be made?

Do you need to have the damping panel installed on both sets of pads? Can they be removed from the caliper without ruining the adhesive on the panel/pads?

Do you have to unbolt the caliper in order to remove the pads without disturbing the damping panel?

Advice/ how to would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Not need but use it if you hafe it.

You do not remove the caliper. Just remove a pin that holds the pads, spread

the pads and put the new pads in.

Look for a brake post. It is a piece of cake replacing brakes.

The picture shows only Porsche brakes.

Thanks Paul. Wasn't sure if you could leave the damping panel in the pistons and just slide the new pads in.

For a "replacement" pad it would be good to replace the "damping panels" but to just swap the pads I'm OK in letting the panel in there or removing, Correct?
