Front is easy the back you will need a little more work you have to turn the cylinder in as you push it in. I am sure there is a tool out there that will do it for you.

dont get the cheap stuff in my case i think the guy gave me ceramic brake pads and roaters that were on sale . I was looking at the brakes the to other day and brake pads look new and the rotars look like they need to be replaced soon.

I would go with Adams rotors (http://www.adamsrotors.com/ ) they have many different applications, like slotted ( adding more stopping power) , drilled, but if you feel that you rather keep the rotor in stock specs & in terms of looks.. Then Ebay has the stock rotors.. As for brake pads I havent purchased any yet, but Hawk is a good brand, there is one particular type of hawk pads that do squeek, I believe the ceramic dont, but ask a rep to find out..
