everyone will recommend against getting drilled rotors as they can crack
you can use your existing pads to bed the rotors in and thats usually recommended

I think you'll find that the DBA648X don't suit a WRX either, for a WRX it would be DBA650X (drilled), and DBA650S (slotted).
The drilled ones are more for show, as they WILL crack around the holes if given a hard time. The slotted ones will stand up to whatever you throw at them. I have 2 sets of brand new DBA650S available for cheaper than that. PM me for price. |

http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm If you change to new pads and rotors at the same time, chances are you'll glaze the pads/rotors and braking performance will not be as good as it should be. While the brakes are being done it's a good chance to upgrade to ADR approved S/S brake lines for better pedal feel. As always you'll need to bleed the brakes which requires 2 people and if you are not 100% on it (ie you haven't done anything with brakes before) DO NOT do it yourself, let a pro handle it.

undo wheels nuts, take off wheel, hit rotor on the back and it will come off
