Default Changing brakes

Okay guys,

I want some more info before i go the whole hog and change the front brakes..

The brakes will be standard MY98 wrx brakes and rotors..

Whats the procedure for those that have done this before??

Is this a simple bolt on/ bolt off?? Do i have to bleed the brake lines to do this??

Wouldnt the Power and MPH far exceed what a 2 pot brake could handle? Its good you can put 15" rims on, but if you cant stop effectivley you're iin trouble.

And as kymbo said there is a very long run off after the 1/4 mile in which to stop. Its not as if were going to be doing 200 mph.. hahahah
