How difficult would it be to do ? Is it a bolt-on replacement or it would require extensive modification to the car ?
Do I need to replace anything else apart from the brake callipers, discs and pads? I run the car on 17” original five spoke alloys.
Cheers

Pads, rotors and calipers will get you there on the front but it may be complete overkill unless you recently dropped in a 3.6L or are competing in Grand Am. Stock 986 brakes are pretty amazing with fresh fluid, quality pads and rotors.
