St. Elmo,
When your finished you wouldn't mind giving me some part numbers on the pads and rotors that you used would you? Also, some instructions would be nice, I have adequate skills to change my brakes but it will be the first time for me. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated

The pads can be changed without taking the calipers off.
You will need a T-45 Torx, and then just slide the top of the
pad portion off the main caliper. The pads then just fall out.
A "C" clamp used on the old pads and the back of the caliper
recompresses the pistons. Slide the new stainless clips on (Front
pads generally come with, the backs have a seperate kit)
and your done.
