I've got a 95 900S that I did the brakes on last summer. Biggest issue was the hex screw that holds the rotor onto the hub. I'd pull the wheels and blast the screws with PB Blaster a few days before you do the brakes to help loosen things up. I ended up having to drill one out, and use the small stud that i left to align the rotor on the hub (instead of using a new screw). Works fine.
I used zimmerman rotors - cheap and worked well. I orgiinally used MetalMaster pads, but found out that for normal daily driving, they didn't grab as well (if you really drive agressively and heat up the brakes, these might work better). Swapped in a new set of Pagids and they work fine (although the brake dust is definitely massive...).
Make sure you have a good set of hex keys/socket attachments. The bolts will come off, but they need a fair amount of encouragement. Otherwise, the job is like any other disc job - very straight forward.
