Another day, another question! :)

My brake rotors are warped and need to be replaced. The car brakes pretty well, but it shakes a lot.

I've done quite a bit of work to my car over the years but the brakes are something I've never worried about, letting the mechanic handle it, but I need to save money as much as possible these days so I'm thinking that it's time to learn that side of things and tackle the replacement of the rotors and pads. It does seem like it's easy enough for a DIYer.

Aside from the fact that I need to finally buy things to get my car off of the ground (doing the oil change recently without raising the car was a bit of a pain), do I actually need to buy anything else but the rotors and pads to do this job? What about clips and shims? Do those come with the pads, do they get reused, or do they need to be bought separately?

Thanks.
