Brakes are easy mode. It prolly has disc all the way around. Makes it easier than rear drums.

Doesn't Acura have some kind of special sensors that have to be replaced as well?

With the age of Google and YouTube, I highly recommend giving it a shot yourself. Of course it depends on if you have the tools needed.

That's a deal. Want to work on my mustang brakes too sometime? It's not worth me dragging all the tools out for that.
