    Yeah, I coast and use throttle control almost exclusively. I’ll even coast up to a red light so I don’t have to accelerate as much when it turns green.

    Apparently Harbor Freight sells a tool that makes compressing the springs super easy (relatively)

      Compressing the springs (actually the pistons) isn’t too difficult. Just use a C-clamp pressing against the old brake pad, and open the cap to the brake fluid reservoir.
