Its a pretty simple process, if you haven't ever done it yourself you may want to have a friend help. 4 wheel disc, its pretty much the same difficulty to do either. Couple hours at MOST... especially if you are just putting on pads, not rotors, calipers.. the whole 9..

You shouldn't have to. Only if you felt them "walking" or shaking when you pressed down on the brake pedal.

Yeah, you should have it done. Even if your rotors aren't really bad, you should still take them to Autozone, or somewhere to get them turned. The reason why, is it will effect how long your brake pads last, if you don't want to get them turned you don't HAVE to.. but its always a good idea.. It does take a little time, but it will be worth it, (save money on brake pads).

You're going to need a special socket key to turn the caliper back in to compensate for the bigger brake pads. If you don't have this already you'll need to pick one up. It's a circular looking key with square and triangle shapes around the outside. Oh and when you turn each caliper back in you need to open up the brake line so it can be pushed in.

If your car pulses when you stop I would have the rotor's (Faced). If they don't need it, don't do it ,because it will really shorten the life of the rotor. If they are completly worn out, just buy new ones, they are not expensive.

always have the rotors turned when doing a brake job. less chance for noise and a better seat for the new pads. you don't "have" to, but its the right thing to do.
