Default Rear brake question?

I am fitting new rear discs and pads to my MY96WRX tomorrow.
Is there anything i should be carefull with or be aware of or is it no harder/different to most rear disc set ups.
I have done many brake changes in the past on my cossie and integrali,but this will be 1st time on my scoob.
Any advise that will help,will be much appreciated.

MODS - please leave here for a little while.

Thank you

Don't forget you have brake shoes for the handbrake inside the disks, which may prove a little reluctant to let the disc go if it is lipped!

Find the pre 97 workshop manual and read the brake bits carefully, and back off the shoes first if the disks seem even a little reluctant to pull straight off.
You may be lucky and have well worn / non adjusted shoes so the disc unit drops straight off!
So then check the shoes!
