good feedback guys, Thanks. I was going to bring my car to the garage and have this done due to my novice wrench skills. But I'm looking at a few youtube videos on "how to" and this seems extremely straight forward. Any feedback on difficult this is to do?

This job is not too difficult. I have been doing my own for years. If you have any mechanical abilities at all you can do this. Dont open the bleeders unless you want to bleed the brakes. You will let air in the lines. Use a c-clamp to press the pistons back into the calipers so the new pads will fit.

Front brakes are too easy....remove wheel,unholy caliper,compress caliper piston( I use wide mouth vise grips) pull pads...insert new pads....then reverse order....if replacing rotors....unbolt carrier, swap rotor, then reverse order......done.

FYI you can also move up to a larger rotor if you swap to the non Brambo SS rotors. Swap the caliper brackets and you'll still use your current calipers. I've got about 6K miles on mine and still happy with them.
