Replacing Rotors
I went ahead and ordered the cross drilled/slotted rotors from Sportbrakes and will be installing them on Friday. Does anyone have a write up on how to replace the rotors? From stuff I found doing a search, it seems like it's pretty straight forward but I still would feel better if I had detailed instructions. If not, I would appreciate any feedback on what tools I will need and what pitfalls if any I should watch out for. Or any tips on how to make the job go smoother. Thanks in advance.

I copied and pasted that address to my email and sent it to myself at home. I guess I have everything but the locktite. 
Thanks for asking the question and the great reply.

Removing the caliper from the caliper mounting bracket is an unnecessary step. You can remove the caliper and caliper mounting bracket as a single unit, just remove the two 21 mm caliper bracket bolts. Pay attention to the direction of the disc inlet vanes (they are directional). Usually (but not always), your new discs will have left or right side stamped on them. The instructional link is excellant.
