Now, what are you doing to these rotors? replacing them with the powerslots? What about the pads?

My thoughts exactly, and if so, who did you go with RRM or RMR?

um i had to take 2 bolts off... maybe i could have pivoted the top one, but i decided it would be easier just to remove both, caliper slide right off. And on a side not i didnt even need a C clamp to get it back on, just squeezed it a couple milimeters with my hand and it popped right on.

and actually you don't need a c clamp. it can be done with just a screwdriver and a rag. i have never used a c clap on my brakes, hover i did have to use some stupid tool to "turn" the piston back in on a Z once(preety easy compared to normal style) let me know if yo unee dinstructions

I was just giving him the most "common" way to push the piston back in seeing he was new to this.

Although this is a little late on how to get that caliper out, I've always taken a mallet to mine. mallets don't mar or bend the metal since they distribute their force fairly widely across the metal. a few good taps, and they usually pop right out. granted, i use this method on my 14 year old car, and my dad's 10 year old pickup, newer brakes should come out a bit more easily than that...in theory
