I didn't do a full how to, as it is late but wanted to give a bit of info.

Rear Pads: Stock from Honda (Part Number tomorrow)
Front Pads: Hawk HPS (Same from Evo 8,9, 10 - HB453 F.585) Thanks @RatedR for the info!

Stock Rear Rotor: If you were wondering, rear rotors weigh about 10.4 lbs(on my bathroom scale)
Stock Front Rotor: However most cross drilled rotors are directional. They both seem to be for the left side. These weight about 24.8 lbs
Both front and rear Rotors, are held in by 1 screw. Either use in impact screwdriver, or drill that puppy out.

Also, the rear brakes, normally on Honda's you have to use the little Brake cube you use with the 3/8 drive wrench. Well, the rear piston is a little wider than the all of the 2 pronged sides(I believe it is about .98 inches). I had to dremel off two of the prongs, opposite of each other to get it to work, as the 4 prong side was wide enough. However, it does slip off, so you will have to take your time. Hopefully a better tool is made.

You will need a 7mm allen wrench(or Allen socket, if you prefer, but I only had the wrench) for the rear calipers. There is a plastic plug that comes off easily with your fingernail(to prevent it rusting as easy)
A 17mm socket removes the caliper holding bracket, if replacing the rotors.
The rear pads have arrows, on the back of the inside pad. Go with the arrow up.

Front Calipers, you need a punch, to punch out the holding pins from the outside, inward. An old 3/8" extension will work in a pinch.
You will need a 19mm socket to remove the front caliper holding bracket if you are replacing the Front rotors.

Thanks! Ordered the GiroDisc rotor for the front as well. Could you share what the torque spec is for the screw holding the rotor?

At less than $60, the Wearever ceramics should be fine for the street. Not sure I'd use them for HPDE's, but if anyone does, please let us know how they hold up

Has anyone tried them at a HPDE or on the street?

Correct

As far as torque spec on rotor screws, its usually 2-3 ft lbs.
