Oddly enough, I just did my brakes. I used aftermarket pads, and had the front rotors machined/turned. It was a bona fide motherfvcker getting the rotors off, had to buy an impact driver to do it(ended up having to go buy Craftsman bits for a cheapo driver I got after I broke all 3 bits that came with it.) I used my handy dandy Quik grip for the front brake calipers, the backs you have to use needle nose plaiers or something to turn the piston into the caliper. I also had to adjust the handbrake, it was dragging a little too much with those nice new thick pads. I probably did not need to turn the front rotors, and I did not do the backs, just changed the pads. The brake masters that turned my rotors made a little cross hatch pattern on the thing, so I matched the backs using some 100 grit sand paper. I would recommend a decent floor jack and some jack stands, it makes the job much easier, and Kragen is always running sales on that shat. Check your fluid level, should not have to bleed the brakes if you do the job correctly
