Yeah if it is those ones then don't attempt it at home.. pretty sure they have some elongated holes which changes the wheelbase length (by a few mm) and the wheel alignment, so you need the correct equipment to re-align it all.

Nahhh bullshit mate, Get on ebay and get yourself a set of second hand RX brakes for about $200 if that.
That's a ridiculous amount of money.

hmmm. Rotors all round??????
Possible but unlikely - fronts maybe (at worst). Replace front rotors and pads all round should be able to go to repsuperautobarn, come home, do the job and be having a beer in under 2 hours and be out of pocket about $200 ish.
I'd be bleeding the brakes first, then check/replace pads. If after that there's no vibration under brakes, then good chance the rotors dont need replacing.
And seriously, the above you can do yourself - its minimal skill level. A trained monkey can do it.
Don't bend over unless they kiss you first.Those $ are with labour, fair enough, but its worth learning to do things like that yourself. Its basic maintenance skills which will help you know your car better as well as save you $$$$$$.
cheers

pretty sure mine were no more than $80 ish each. Nothin flash mind you, but certainly adequate for the vehicle's capabilities.
