Start with Front Brake Rotors Installation Instructions on I-club, on top if this you will be disconnecting the hoses and reconnecting to the new calipers and bleeding them.

You might consider fitting braided hoses whilst you've got the calipers off.

Email me if you have any questions.

[Edited to say, take the stone guards off as well as they can foul the larger discs and squeal like a really squeally thing, also helps cooling a bit]

Cool

I did this conversion on my Legacy a month or so ago, it takes about an hour, including bleeding. All the bolts are the same, soit is a direct swap. Just make sure the area around the bake line coupling is clear before splitting it. The longest part of the job in my case was getting the ABS sensors out of the hubs so without damaging them, so I could swap the backplates. They had been there undisturbed for 8 years!

P.S. Handy tip (learned the hard way!), Make sure your wheels fit first.
