I changed my front pads last night. It took about an hour. New wear sensors are necessary items because even if they're still intact, you can easily break the plastic clip while pulling them out of the old pads. The plastic gets brittle after repeated heating and cooling. The installation/retainer clip kit is not entirely necessary, but over time, I can see how the spring clip could lose its tension. If you want to go cheap, you can get a new installation kit every other time. There is an excellent DIY here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7065

Best to replace things while you're down there.... come on guys let's get cheap on the daily drivers not on the P-car.... No option on going cheap especially when doing it yourself...
