I want to replace the pads and rotor for this car. I have done brakes on older cars without ABS. Is there anything special I have to know or worry about when replacing brakes on a car with ABS?

There is nothing particularly special about the ABS system when it comes to replacing pads and rotors, just be sure you get factory original pads, semi metallic to semi metallic and ceramic to ceramic. Also be sure to note whether your car has break wear sensors and that the new pads you buy do or don't according to what you currently have. And keep in mind that you typically get what you pay for with this kind of thing so don't be afraid to spend a little extra.
