This weekend I changed the front pads, rotors, and flushed the brake lines. The hardest part was getting the 17 mm bolts that hold the caliper assembly on loose. The flushing can be a bit tricky as well, but I used a vacuum pump from Sears.
When I first did it, the brakes were really spongy...air in the lines. Then I re-did it, properly this time, and the brakes are better than when new…solid. I used Brembo rotors, Akebono ceramic, pads, and Valvoline synthetic brake fluid.
If anyone has any questions, let me know…

Just a quick note.
All brake fluid is basically syntetic.
There is nothing special about Valvoline fluid over most other quallity DOT-3/4 fluids.
