CoffinHunter,
I have to agree with RandallNeighbour concerning brake jobs. Super easy.
Here are the two DYI links I used when I first changed brake pads and rotors.
Boxster Projects | Brakes | Change Pads
Boxster Projects | Brakes | Change Rotors
I took my car to a brake shop for brake fluid flushes/changes.
I only changed brake sensors if my brake wear light comes on or a brake sensor wire brakes (and in that case my brake sensor light came on).
I purchased my pads, sensors and rotors from RockAuto.
I purchased a brake kit (cotter pins, spring clip, retaining pins and extra caliber bolts) from Pelican Parts. The kit was cheap insurance.
When I changed the pads and rotors the first time, back in March 2011, all the parts cost me a approximately $180.00 including shipping.
Good Luck
