I have the same setup, and I love it. Ken at KNS is the man to talk to about brakes! Very helpful, very knowledgeable.I'm a DBA rotor convert!
Front DBA Rotors - Part # 42724S / Rear Part # 42723S
Ordered from Ken at KNS Brakes in NC - good guy to talk to and knowledgeable about all things brake related
My personal .02 - these are a substantial upgrade from stock, and after about 25k miles - no issues and the only nit pick I'd have is the brake dust on the front wheels quickly returns after a wash.

Awesome feedback! So it appears you're running the street pads instead of the xp pads? I was thinking of going that route too but have been wobbling between the street performance pads and StopTech street pads 309.13030 which I've read are the TRD pads that many speak highly of. Did you upgrade brakelines to SS?I'm a DBA rotor convert!

I didn't upgrade to the SS brake lines - Ken didn't think I needed to. I am running the street pads, again on Ken's recommendation, but I may go with the XP or another when these are up for replacement. The brake dust gets pretty bad, but just an annoyance more than anything.Awesome feedback! So it appears you're running the street pads instead of the xp pads?

Easy, basic tools. You'll need a torque wrench.hoping to add these to the list for spring
how difficult is it to do in my garage?
thank youEasy, basic tools. You'll need a torque wrench.
The ebrake shoes can be tricky to get retracted. I took the opportunity and removed everything from the backing plates, cleaned and painted with Rustoleum paint, gave it a day to dry, then coated liberally with anti rust coating (my preference is Amsoil HD Metal Protector). Those things are VERY expensive to have replaced.
