If you know your way around tools and have some experience in DIY job, the front rotors and pads are an easy task. Pretty straight forward and no special tools needed. I would recommend getting pads similar to or actually OEM. Textar are good, some of the others just make more issues or dust.
If you are ordering parts, go ahead and get new rotor set bolts ( they hold the rotors in place on the hub during assembly)
Consider swapping your front brake lines to braided stainless steel if they are looking like they need replacement, you will stop faster, gain the security of the stronger lines and the expansion of the lines is nil so you dont have any "mushing" feeling.
