There was a thread here some time ago refuting the use of stainless steel lines on these cars...but my reason for posting is that a first-time DIY'er probably won't want to venture into having to bleed brakes along with the pad and rotor replacement.

But as others said, rotor replacement is a pretty simple task. If the caliper mount bolts haven't ever been removed, they will be stubborn...after that, future brake sevicing should be pretty easy.
