You only need to take the wheels out and onbolt the caliper, then you unbolt the rotor and replace with new one, just make sure its the same size.

Teh engrish!

Anyway, yes it's very easy. If you have any problems and feel like driving to rockville, I'll help you out with it.

Remember to use an impact driver to remove the screws securing the disc to the hub, or you'll hate yourself. And, if you thread screws into the other two holes (the ones not normally occupied by screws), it'll push the brake disc away from the hub, making it easier to remove.

 

yea man i cld take all help i can get. its always nice to have someone who actually knows what their doing by your side to feel secure in DIY projects. i still have 2 order the rotors and pads, so it will probablly be like a week b4 i cld get to it, but im actually working in that general area so it wldnt be a big deal for me 2 drive up that way.

Brembo doesn't make rear rotors for BB6. Also Brembo doesn't make cross drilled AND slotted. It makes EITHER cross drilled OR slotted only. Don't be fool if you plan to get some!

 

Advance auto rotors

No problems at all. The lifetime warranty thing is pretty cool too

 

I think Pepboys carries EBC rotors. I don't know how good EBC products are.
