Kevin, we'll get-r-done, I'm looking right now.
i just got mine at napa and got some stainless steel brake lines made, that made some difference.
i spent 200 at napa and 130 at the brake line shop. the pedal was much better and no more warped rotors.
i have the rotors and pads over a year with over 20k miles on them and they were no wore much at all

Like I said I'm installing them next week so I hope they fit.

i emailed http://www.rotorpros.com/ for an estimate, and they are 258 for the drilled/slotted rotors from www.ebcbrakes.com, i will probly end up buying from one of those places and then pick up some of the hawk pads....
now that i know what i need for the front, what do i do about the rear brakes? just new pads or what?

thats all you can do unless you want to drop the cash for a rear disc conversion.
