Update: My first ever brake job, all the way around, all by myself (pretty happy about that). Thanks to William for moral support and tech advice. Upgraded to BMW Performance Rotors, Hawk Brake Pads front, OEM Brake Pads rear, painted the calipers, new brake pad sensors. Originally went with StopTech stainless steel brake lines in the front, but decided to go back to OEM. Not great lighting with my poor cell phone pics... but I'm really happy with the way they turned out, and the pics don't do it justice as far as how nice these rotors look.
EDIT: I did have to take the car to an Indy to do the ABS brake bleed, as you need a computer to do that.

Looks good. Really like those Performance Rotors. Why did you go back to the OEM lines?

Subbing...
Great thread, enjoyed checking it out from start to current. Love the new wheel and the tri-stitch theme upgrade with the steering wheel and boots. If my steering wheel ever gets torn, I'll probably switch too, looks very nice.

Looks great John! Why did you decide to go back to OEM lines?
They aren't particularly hard as long as your retaining bolts are not rusted to the rotor. Ask me how I know...Originally Posted by jayjay_dee
Feel free to send me a message if/when you decide to do them.

Looks like you took the whole caliper off for the job. Any reason? Looks good, nice components.
I believe he painted the caliper mounting brackets
