I am running the Bosch Quietcast on mine as well, doing great so far, I got mine from Amazon but could have saved a few bucks getting from O'Reilly.

Hey Boomer -

Now that we have your rotors picked out, you'll need 2 items to make the removal of your old rotors go better:

1. A can of Aero Kroil to spray on the 2 retaining screws. Let it sit for a while (over night is the best) to let it penetrate the threads. AK is better than WD40.

2. One of those screwdrivers that will turn counter-clockwise when you strike it with a hammer. You'll probably need this type of screwdriver to get the 2 screws loose per rotor.

Remember - it's not a project unless you have to buy a new tool.

Here's a pic of the aforementioned screws:

Then a little anti-seize when you re-install those screws and they will come out easy next time... I took my old screw to lowes/home depot and bought a bag of stainless replacements for like $1
