Yeah the one guy I spoke to said he'd need to balance both, leave it overnight and possibly iodize them again.

if you have never done it before you need to either get someone that has to be with you when your doing it or take it somewhere to do it properly.

the pads are easy to change, but the rotor, you need to pull the wheel off then bolt the new rotor in, and then center it. (some might not need centering) once its done you need to balance your wheel as a whole. sometimes a little bit of shift in the center can throw out the wheel by a lot.

also try to keep track of your bolts and tighten them like a car lug nuts in a star pattern.

and last, call the dealer to make sure you are not over tightening your bolts.

MrHEX, I definitely won't be doing it myself. I'll take it to the aforementioned guy that does it for track bikers.
