Default Brake ADVICE on 06 Pt Touring non turbo

I need to replace the brakes on my PT. Is there anything that I need to know or any tricky parts on the job? I am asking about any easy ways yall may have found or know of. will I need any special tools to do the job?

And what type of brakes are the best , by that I mean less brake dust and stopping power.... Any help would be good...

I used NAPA ceramic pads and I had it done took them about 20 min, of course they had a hoist and air wrench. Other than that, no special tools.

The NAPA ceramic pads (I read) are made by Raybestos and are excellent. Shop around and you may find them cheaper as Raybestos.
No special tools - Jackstand to hold up car - C-clamp to push piston in, metric wrenches, ... pretty straightforward.

Easy to do! Son showed me one side; I did the other.
USE CERAMIC PADS - unless you enjoy constantly cleaning the dust on the front wheels!
