Anyone have a DIY for changing out Front Brake pads and Rotors on an ISx50?? Tried to look it up in the Search but found no results. Any info would definitely be appreciated.

No need to search, just look up the 2Gen IS DIY threads:

Thanks for the info in the pads, But i Really need help on switching out the rotors, I heard you have to bleed your brakes to do it.

Nope, you don't have to bleed if you plan to change only the rotors and pads (not BBK). I changed my front/rear rotors/pads a month ago.

while you're changing your rotors, rest your calipers on something so you don't have to set them down on anything. I used a spare set of flat topped jackstands. it will make it 100x easier.

so once i take my calipers off, will the rotors just slide out?

depends... if your car is newer with less rust/dust, they should slide out once the caliper is off. Mine is 06 and has collected rust/dust and all my 4 rotors did not slide out immediately. I have to use the m-8 1.25 screw and thread the screw in and keep threading until the disc pops off like the 3rd link above.

It all depends on how hot you've had the brakes. If they've been very hot, the rotors will be corroded no matter what, AMHIK.
