Interested as well...

 

Its not rocket science just plain nut and bolt stuff. Yesterday I changed my fronts (2007 GT/CS) with DBA rtors and Hawk pads, today the rears get done.
You'll need a few metric wrenches and sockets, and a c-clamp to depress the front caliper pistons. For the rear you'll need to get a disk brake pad install kit as the piston on the rear caliper has to rotate as it's bring depressed. Don't just try to depress it stright in. You can get the set at any Auto Zone or Advance Auto as free tool rental.
Get new disk pad retainer clips and a set of the litttle rubber boots. My GT has 26000 miles and I noticed the boots had started to deterioate a bit. Disk brake grease to lube the pins and back of the pad, and a can of brake cleaner to wipe down the rotors. Piece of coat hanger type wire to hang the calpers from while you work on the rotors--dont just let the caliper hang on its hose.

,,,,,,,,,,,, Thanks for the info ,much needed ,can you get the new ( retainer clips and rubber boots ) at Auto Zone or Advance ,,just trying to get a list of what I will need to buy ,don't want to be running back and worth to Parts store ,,,,,front Baer rotor # 54134-020,,front Baer pad # D1081,,,,Rear Baer rotor # 54131-020,,, rear Baer pad # D1082,,,,

 

Yeah, you can get the clips and boots at either. Not expensive. If you don't have one, get a Hayne's Repair Manual--gives a step by step to replace both pads and rotors. If you've never done this before, just take your time and watch how the parts come off and in what order. Example, the boots don't just slide on the pins and caliper, they have to go over a raised area that seals them. Example, the front caliper pins don't have to be oriented, but the rear's do. Before and as you remove a part look at it to see how it's placed, don't just pull it off.
If you haven't done this before, figure about 30 minutes per brake to do it. First one's the hardest, next three are easy. Make sure you get the caliper piston tool--it will make the rear's go alot easier.

Also for info, on this site under the performance mods, check TacoBill's link. He's got a step by step with pic's showing a rotor install.

The install kit for the brakes aren't expensive (clips, pins and boots). Priced them out at Ford and they are like $20 for the front and $20 for the rear.

 

Thanks guys for all the info ,,Bear brake - ( rotors and pads ) -front and rear parts are in the mail now ,,I should be able to start this brake project / job / replacment next week sometimes ,,with lots of pictures ,,

 

I'm interested to see if they make any more noise or are worse than stock in any way for daily driving abilities.

 

Update ,November 6th ,,, I got the rear all done now ,,waiting for front Baer brake pads now to come in mail,, I first ordered all from ( CJ Pony Parts ) ,but now CJ is saying front Baer pads are on a 2 month back order to wait ,, I say " No " ,, and refund my money ,,so I can buy off ebay today ,,from someone who has them in stock ,, why do venders say they have something for sale and not really have it at all ???,,,,,,,,,,,, YES I got all the Baer Rotors ,front and back ,,and the rear Baer pads ,,ya ,the rear / back is all done ,, and I had to rent tool from my ( Auto Zone ) to do the rear /back brakes ,,made it easyer to do ,,tool rent was like $64.00 ,,which I got back my money $$ when I brought tool back to them ,,I've took a few pictures and will post more later ,after I get the front all done ,,thanks for looking in . ,,, Looking now for ( Baer Brake front Pads ,,part number # D1081 ) ,,,,,,, price rang is $ 98.00 -$120.00 .

Lookin good Rick! The drilled and slotted rotors just look visually cool not to mention function

 

I put the same rotors on my car, but with Hawk HPS pads. Don't forget to bed them in.

 

Looks good Rick!
