Lots of good info in this thread! Will share my experience replacing front rotors and pads, Ferodo DS2500.
I removed the calipers using the 18mm carrier/bracket bolts on the inside of the caliper per newtis.info repair manual and a couple of posts in this thread. Used a breaker bar to loosen the bolts and then unscrew by hand. Torqued it back up to 81 ft-lbs (110 Nm) when re-installing. No need to touch the guide pins at all.
Tried swapping the OEM shims over but could not squeeze the new pads in the caliper with the shims on. I installed without the shims, hopefully won't get a clunk noise when switching directions. The backing plate of the Ferodo is almost exactly the same size as OEM pads with shims though. See pics.
Ferodos also have a notch where the brake wear sensor should go, but there is no real way to clip it on. So I just taped the new sensor back on itself and out of the way.
