Default Changing brake pads and rotors question

I'm going to be swapping out my front oem rotors and pads only on my 96 accord and was wondering if I needed an impact screw driver?

I'm going to replace them with brembo blanks and axxis metal master pads for any who are interested. Thanks.

nope you dont.

the front rotors are held on by 4 bolts thru the hub. Kind of a pain in the ass though to switch.

You can always get around the impact issue by removing wheels with car on stands. Before you tear apart your brakes get a friend to sit in the car and apply the brakes. Then you can use a screwdriver and vise-grips for leverage to remove any impact screws holding rotors in place. Worked great for me.
