It's pretty straight forward and once you've done a few you can knock it out in no time. I found a piece of rope from the top of the suspension to hold on to the dangling calipers to be very helpful as the caliper are quite large and heavy and you don't want your brake lines being yanked 
I run ds2500's on the street with no squeeling at all. And the pad sensor I just shorted the two wires so the warning light no longer appears.

Thanks RadiuM. Sounds easy enough. Definitely not something I'm likely to be doing though!
I asked on the main forum and the main suspects are;
OEM Sport Pads
Ferodo DS2500
PFC8
I'm a little lost as to which to buy! Leaning toward the OEM one as I can get the dealer to do the install and not worry.
