Are you planning on changing the color of the rotors since you'll have them apart? I was thinking about going red with mine, but everyone does that, even with low-performance OEM brakes so it's kind of lost it's meaning.

Will do. So far, pretty easy as long as you know the "air compressor and a block of wood" trick...although that wasn't perfect either...I'll explain when I post pics...lol. Digging out the seal remainder in the groove was just annoying...but not hard. Biggest issue I have right now is that I didn't put a depressor on the brake pedal so my reservoir drained into the ziplocs I have on the brake lines...hope i can restore with a regular bleed (I have the tools). I have never done the INPA one (athough
chadillac2000 has a post on it so I'll bug him if I find I need to do that. )
I am not planning on any repainting(and I assume you meant calipers?)...I am fine with the grey. Was toying with the idea of removing all the paint...better heat transfer to the air!
