yes, search for brembo in the 3G garage thread (use ctrl F (windows) or command F if on a mac)

TL-S = Same as TL Base with 6MT.

I went to 3g garage and I don't see a DIY for replacing rotors for the TL s-type...I have replaced the rotors on my 2nd gen. TL before but this seem a little different with the brembo calipers...

If the Service Manual does not specify MT or AT it is the same for both. For brakes on the TL-S, follow the MT instructions.

Dont touch the allen head bolts on rear of caliper
They hold the caliper halves together~

The 2 normal bolts hold the caliper to the car

Tip: If the rotor retainer screws are stuck- try tightening them, then reverse.
Use an impact screwdriver for easy way

If you have ever done disc brakes its not a big deal
The only trick is getting all the pistons retracted properly with either the right tool or opening the bleeder and using a ok tool and old brake pad
When you flush the brake fluid,its outer bleeder first, then inner
Bleed/flush order is still start driver front, LF RF RR LR
