my brembo front brake discs are just arrived.
I want to replace these discs myself; however, this is my first time. Many of you must have done this job before, so please give me some tips. Anything I should be awared of?

wow, great link. Here are some other tips:

Loosen your lug nuts while the car is still on the ground, it's a pain to do when it's in the air. Don't take them off, or even turn them one full turn, just break them loose while the car's on the ground, so you don't have trouble removing your wheels.

For brake stuff, there are a couple of bolts where it usually helps to have a breaker bar/ cheater bar. Use either a big long wrench, or slip a piece of pipe on the end of your wrench. (try not to use a socket wrench, you could break the ratchet mechanism). When using a breaker bar, be careful you don't smash it into your fender when that nut comes loose. I did this to my Suby, it made me sad.

Thanks fumanchu!
I installed new front brembo discs today. It took me four hours because I did not have proper tools.
First, I jacked the car up and took off wheels.
Second, I realized that I did not have enough tools, so I actually ran to a local Checkers and a NAPA to find a brake pad spreader and a hammer. That is why it took me so long.
There were two little bit difficult operations.
one is that it was a little bit hard to get two bolts out from the caliper because there was rusts on them. ( apply WD-40 before unscrew them)
The other was that it was very hard to push the brake pistons back. (use brake pad spreader)
Other than these, it was very a simple job.
I had a fun and exercised, running. ^^
Now, I can feel a shorter brake distance and I like it.
