I'm going to have the same project. Which brand of rotors you are going to choose??

I'd say you guys should try to change them yourselves. I am a complete moron when it comes to do stuff like that, yet i just recently changed my pads and removed the rotors (just to see how hard would it be to change them), and believe me, it was not hard at all.

I've gone through the process and unfortunately i was not one of those people who read the instructions first. Bleeding your break lines is no problem IF YOU DONT REMOVE YOUR CALIPER (usually for painting), but if you do and all the break fluid gets out be prepared to pump you A$$ off.

Also there are some techniques that'll make the job must easier, the procedure is written in detail in the CAMERY/SOLARA hagnes manuel, i suggest you get it, it comes in handy. I believe, (not positive) if you only change the rotors and pads and you leave all the break lines in place by hanging the caliper, you actually dont really need to bleed the breaks. But if you do, it'll be pretty simple since not to many air bubbles can get in unless you unhook the hose.

P.S. If your only changing the rotors and pads, its cake. Check the DIY section, there are some good instructions.

I did mine, you can see some pictures and whatnot here. Its's very simple if you don't paint, as you shouldn't need to bleed or anything.
