Default These are actually one of the easier installs to do...
the kit and instructions are very complete, just make sure to read each step and take your time. Probably the hardest part of the whole install is bleeding the brakes afterwards. Make sure you've got some clear tube handy to attach to the bleed valves so that you're not spraying brake fluid all over the place Also, as I mentioned before if you can get an impact screwdriver it would be very helpful for getting the retaining screws out of your stock rotors.
