Help installing spark plugs/Brake pads info
Hello,
Just need some help on installing spark plugs.
How many are there and there general location.
And which ones do you guys recommend?
Also,
I am in the midst of looking for some new brake pads
I have 2 brands in mind.
Let me know if they are any good.

There are 4 spark plugs. Two "leading" and two "trailing". You probably just want the stock ones. They're easiest to get to from under the car (driver's side of the engine).
Can't comment on those two pads. I just got some Axxis Ultimates for the street that seem pretty good (just a little squealy).

It's dark like Poe.
I've never used a Hawk pad, but I've never heard a complaint, either. Several of my friends use Hawk HP pads and they love them.
As far as the Green Stuff, I've got a set ready to install when I get my car back from the shop.

Plugs can be changed from above by removing the elbow or from below by raising the front on stands.
EBC Greens destroyed my rotors on my CRX, hence I don't recomend them.
Hawk HPS for street would be good. You will want some grease on the shims.
Note: This is covered in the sticky's on the top of the page which also has links for instructions and most important the manual (which you need to read if you don't know how many plugs or where they are located).
Tip: Leading plugs have Lower number

I have EBC Greens on my 7 and Hawk HPS on the Evo. I like the EBCs more. Better bite and no squeal. The Hawks just don't give me the same confidence as the EBCs. Oh and they squeal.
One note is the bedding procedure with the EBCs...if not done right either the pads will sqeal like hell or they won't work as well. I did 3 stops from 40 mph to just about stopped. Let cool for about 30 seconds between each stop. Thats it. The pads work great, very little dust, no noise and great feel. I don't know about rotor live yet since I just had them installed a couple of weeks ago while other work was being completed.
