Default Any brake installation tips?

I'm a newbie and I'm about to install new brakes on a 1998 GS300. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks.

pads are easy, search, i think someone did a do-it-yourself..if i recall, bananna's web page has this diy.

if it more than pads, i would use a qualified mechanic.

Are you installing rotors and pads?

I had never done any brake work in my life and I replaced my rotors and pads on all four by myself in one afternoon. It's not very difficult take your time and double check everything.

Pay attention to torque specs, get a breaker bar for those big caliper bolts if doing rotors, use anti seize on the spring clips where they contact the pads.
