And I have to say it wasn't that bad. The first side took about 90 min (including a run to sears for a Torx-50)...the second side took about 30min. New rotors, hardware, and Hawk ceramic pads. I'll try to compile a complete DIY from all the posts I used.

Were your rotors worn so far down they needed replacement? I will need new brakes soon but I was planning on just replacing the pads. I believe there is only minimal wear on the rotors. Curious if you measured yours or what?

Porsche recommends changing the rotors as well as the pads each time.
I did my pads a few months ago, and I measured the rotors. My rotors were all well within spec, so I only did pads.

Anyway, I had the dealer check the rotors. You can do it yourself with a brake micrometer. I forgot what the exact specs are. If I find them I'll post it with my DIY this weekend.
The rotors only run about $100 a piece. It's easy to do. And when you are saving $700 in labor by DIY, why not replace them.
