I did it took me about 3 hours brakes rotors front and rear. I brought R1 concept cross drilled and slotted rotors and Akibono ceramic brake pads. It is not a hard job if you have jack stands and a floor jack. total cost was about 800.00 which broke down comes to 540 for rotors and about 180.00 for pads.
Love the ceramic pads not a bit of dusting not a bit of fade and not abit of noise. Awsome brakeing and they look good also
