Exclamation Changing rotors and pads / help

I have an 05 wrx sedan, i just purchased stoptech replacement rotors for the front. I was wondering if this is a straight install, i have nevered changed the brakes on a wrx before. Is there any tricks or special tools i will need to due this. I am new to this so any info would be greatly appreciated.

when disconnecting the brake line make sure you dont spill too much fluid because if it goes below the min level you will have air in your brake line and its going to be a ***** to remove it even if you bleed it, it will still be hard just becarefull

The front stock rotors have two threaded holes. After removing the calipers just torque in some bolts and they should pop off. Make sure too tighten the bolts evenly and I don't remember the size you need though
