I upgraded mine from the base brakes, it wasn't hard. I did buy the sport brake dust shields and once I saw what I needed to do to install them, I cut the base ones lol. I just snipped the part that is folded over and folded them straight, so now the stock dust shield is just a flat piece, which you don't notice really since they are about the same diameter as the sport rotors, but you can see them if you are really looking up close. And you will need to trim the shields a little to fit the sport calipers, but thats pretty easy with shears and pliers. I bought mine through Concept Z Performance, I wanted the DBA rotors which I really like. One thing that might be good is use locktite on the bolts that hold the calipers in, Im pretty sure it were used from the factory. I didn't with mine, every time i get under my car I recheck those bolts, locktite would be good for piece of mind.
