No need to unbolt the calipers unless you are replacing the rotors too. This job can be done (front and rear) with the calipers in place.
Most brake pad kits come with the sensors included (front only for your model). Make sure of this before you wind up with an extra set of sensors that you ordered separately.
Also, unscrew the cap off the master cylinder to relieve pressure when you push the pistons back far enough to accept the new pads. Put rags around the master cylinder to protect the painted surfaces from the potential of brake fluid overflow while you push the pistons in.
This is an easy, but very dirty task and will save you $$$.
Make sure you let the new pads seat properly by using gentle braking force for the first 10-20 miles before you can start tromping on them...
