The dealer will put them on for you, but please do yourself a favor and don't use EBC stuff; they are probably the worst pads you can ever use.

If you drive on the street mostly, the pads should last roughly 2 years or more, no need to change them. If you are looking for less dust, there is a reason the EBC claims not to have much dust, they don't brake

Obviously it is dependent on usage, but I would very highly doubt that any street usage will make you go through stock pads any sooner than that.
