Ivan,
Nice DIY video.
When I was reinstalling the spring clip, I inserted a phillips screw driver in the outside hole that the pin slides into, and then leveraged the spring clip toward the pads. That allowed me to slide the pin in about half way without much effort. Try that next time and I think you will see how much easier it is to reinsert the pin.

I was going to install ceramics on my sister's car after I painted the calipers, but the "standard suspension" brakes are different than the brakes shown in any of the pictures on this thread. I was on the phone with Hawk and they do not make a pad that fits this caliper. EBC claims they do, but according to their customer service rep, there are none in the US. Has anyone else come across this? Anyone found a ceramic pad that fits the standard suspension caliper? Thanks!

By "sport" suspension they mean a Carrera S not a Carrera. This is what I used on my Carrera, but I believe they are different for a 2010.

Don't go by the Hawk parts finder app, I ended with a set of wrong pads doing that. I would call someone like Pelican, they will know what you need.

For those who are in the same predicament I am, the EBC part numbers are:
Front: DP32057C Rear: DP31930C
