Bought a Powerlite Wilwood set from RD... who's betting its a straight forward 10 min swap??
Steve
10 day perhaps....
WHAT AN UNDER-STATEMENT! 
if you are planning a 10 minute job you're best to put aside 3-4 hours! remember you hav to bleed as well, lol
unpacking = 10 mins
admiring spanking new parts = 10 mins
removing old brakes = 45 mins
re-admiring new parts = 10 mins
fitting first side = 30 mins
admiring new parts fitted = 10 mins
fitting second side = 20 mins (always quicker 2nd time
bleeding = 15 mins
admiring new parts (wheels off) = 10 mins
taking piccies of new parts (wheels off) = 10 mins
admiring new parts (wheels on) = 10 mins
taking piccies of new parts (wheels on) = 10 mins
so...about 3hrs all in although you'd save a lot of time if you stopped admiring the damned things and getting on with it 
what rear brakes did you have before?
This is on sierra uprights I take it?
Would be interested to hear how you get on with it - been looking at that kit for a while...
Im reckoning on having to change the master cylinder on my bias bar set up - what are your plans?

twiddling with clip holding pads = 2 mins
looking for pinged off clip after twiddling = 40 mins
fitting first side = 30 mins
admiring new parts fitted = 10 mins
fitting second side = 20 mins (always quicker 2nd time
realise fitted to wrong side doh; remove both sides and refit = 40 mins
strip thread on brake connector, need to make new line = 40 mins
bleeding = 15 mins
discover need 20 ml of brake fluid, trip to halfords and back = 60 mins
admiring new parts (wheels off) = 10 mins
taking piccies of new parts (wheels off) = 10 mins
admiring new parts (wheels on) = 10 mins
taking piccies of new parts (wheels on) = 10 mins
posting photos of new parts
1 mins
so...about 4 hrs all in although you'd save a lot of time if you stopped admiring the damned things and getting on with it
lucky, you i just set aside that amount of money and was about to order some when I broke the sump, waterpump, and exhaust.
so no new brakes for me. AGAIN this year

and I was that excited on the phone I forgot to ask what the total was 
dont forget tea breaks!!
we spent about 8 hours changing brembo discs and pads last week-the longest part was cleaning everything up...need a new toothbrush now
Don't forget to add a couple of days to machine the mounting bracket to ensure your disc sits central in the caliper.
