if I dont swap would they still fit and maybe give up hand brake?

I'm guessing with bigger breaks on the front and base model brakes on the rear the back end will get squirlly under hard braking right?
The e-bake on all the 986 base cars are a different diameter than the S e-brake, and require changing the rear carrier assemblies in order for everything to fit and work, period. Any state with vehicle inspections will require the e-brake to function, and while that may not be a problem for you, it makes the car unsalable in any state that does. And if the car came into my shop for a PPI, I would tell the buyer to drop the price by the amount necessary to correct the problem, which is not small project.

As 80-85% of the car's braking effort in on the front brakes, you won't notice any difference.
