It's really a piece of cake, man. The fronts, at least.

Have fresh brake fluid, GSX front calipers, GSX rotors, and pads ready to when you start. Then you have something like (4) bolts on each side to remove the caliper from the car. Undo the banjo bolt fitting on the caliper (the brake line), connect it to the GSX caliper, then put the caliper back on like the stocker. Done.

(Just make sure you put them on the correct sides of the car.) emoji

The backs are a bit more involved, but the fronts are about as easy as it gets. If you've ever done your own brakes, this change will take about 30 minutes longer than that.

You don't need to change the rears as long as you have calipers already in the back (GS model). If you have drums in the rear, go to town. You'll need the e-brake cables too.

If you are upgrading the rear drums on an RS to discs you do NOT need the e-brake cables and all the hassle of pulling them in and out. A slight mod to the backing plates will save you all that work. See my aforementioned write up for pics and how-to.

Rears are not hard to swap. Usually loosening the bolts and brake line fittings are the worst part of the deal. Front swaps to GSX calipers ae easiest.

Just another link in case anyone wanted some pics of the swap in the front.

Ignore the old pics of the engine bay, hahaha, those are from back in 2004.
