Question Brake Change on an '03 WRX?

I've never done a brake change on anything before in my life but I have a feeling that if I go to the dealership this is going to get pretty expensive. How hard is it and does anyone know where I can get a step-by-step for doing this?

what are you talking about? just changing the pads? its pretty simple, just make sure you have a c-clamp big enough to compress the pistons on the front caliper before you take everything apart (8" I think is big enough). PM me your email address and I'll try to find the page for brakes on my factory service manual.

They have alot of DIY's there. Good luck and it might take you 2 hours or so. Make sure you have an extra hand when it comes to bleeding the fluid.
