Thanks guys.. my only concern was bleeding the brakes and the rotors and pads should be straight forward.... so ill bleed the fluid first and then install new rotors and pads...

yeah, that way if you spill the fluid you're only getting it on the old pads & rotors haha bleeding is straight forward if you know what you're doing, keep a bottle of water handy, and always keep an eye on the reservoir level when doing the bleeding

Yeah i sort of have a procedure to follow so should be alright. mainly topping up fluid after each brake to make sure its at a good level to not allow any air in.. will be doing it with someone so they can be on the brake inside the car.

Just remember that with Brembo's they have 2 bleed nipples per caliper... Inners first.

as my00gc8 said, if unsure on how to do it, dont do it, brakes are one of those things u cant mess around with, and yes follow bleeding proceedure to manufacturers specs, cars with abs and non abs have different proceedures, manufacturers wont just have a certain way to do it to be different, they do it to for the car benefit.
