Battery quick disconnect?
Anyone know of a quick disconnect for these cars? Seems a hassle to always remove the panel / side pieces every time, especially for those who track and need to replace pads all the time.

Agree, I leave the 2 side pieces of trim off. And only have to remove the large center section. But agree its a pain...
I admit that I've spread the pads and with in two seconds swapped out one pad at a time without disconnecting the battery.

Do you use the remove caliper method, or leave caliper on method?

Well I was sort of looking for what anyone has done to prevent removal of the panels, a battery disconnect is easy, having to remove the panels all the time is a pain...

I remove the cross pin and all 4 pad bolts.
expand the pads (compressing the caliper pistons).
At this point if the car goes into brake test mode, no harm would be done.
I remove the old pad and slide in the replacement. about as fast as I can say or type this sentence.
That is the only time I'm at risk for that second or 2.
