Your dealer can do it or any mechanic that has done brakes before it not that hard. here a step by step pdf of install procedure. Please discard the bedding procedure, do not bed them put them on and go. Let me know when you are ready to order.

Go to Naperville Automotive Solutions. I know the owner very well. He has worked on my C5 numerous times including brakes. He also personally owns a C6z06.

It's on the very west end of naperville right next to Aurora. If you call tell him Adam sent you.
