    I'm about to do a full set of pads on my 2015 Cali T Ceramics. I've done a set on my R8 GT but I never know what surprises Ferrari has in store. . .Has anyone done their own pads that can tell me if it's pretty standard or if there are hidden obstacles before I start this project?

    Thanks!

    Update. Did the job, no real surprises. However the warning light didn't go out even with new sensors. Dealer wants to charge me to "inspect the brakes" before they will reset it. There are a lot of things I really don't like about the ownership experience at times...

    Out of curiosity, how many miles did you get from your pads?

    Actually the fronts had a lot of life yet but the rears were done at 34k miles. Thats because you can barely get the car to hook up on the roads here without the traction control stepping in. I just did all four but am saving the fronts as they are maybe half worn. Maybe.

    There are OBDII 200 devices thst will retard the warning light, mine worked well. You simply have to be confident in your work and be willing to spend the money on the device rather than the mandatory 2 (shop)hours Ferrari will charge you.

    Where did you source the pads; Did you use the OE Brembo or alternate brand?
