How about rotors?

Yes you do have to add the core charge however, if you take the old parts that you're replacing they wont charge you the core fee. Most Auto zone employees don't really seem to know very much about what you take back to them and I want to keep my OEM parts so ill end up taking them a set of calipers that i have lying around from a 98 civic. Ive done it before with a CV joint.

Brand new calipers are no problem, but I bought an older pair first, drilled em out, rethreaded and they leaked under pressure. Its a tough/risky business unless you buy lightly used or brand new calipers.
Otherwise the install is easy. Get the proper rotors and the proper mounting bolts and the calipers bolt up just fine. Older calipers may need a conversion mounting bracket so do your research and read your threads!

I am aware of having to swap the bleeders and i do have the tools to be able to do this. Since these are brand new calipers it will be a lot easier to break the red thread lock that they use on them.
What rotors did you use and did you need spacers? Ive been trying to find the ones listen in the DIY and cant seem to find them.
