piece of doo doo assuming you have all the right parts, you'll need hubs, carriers, calipers, discs, pads and thats pretty much it.

oh and a 22mm master cylinder....

I wouldn't bother, thats a lot of work. Make sure your standard setup is working correctly.

I'd do it too! (infact I did lol) The G60 brakes are very good compared to the others (lockups at 60mph :D). It's fairly simple to do too. Just remove the old parts and replace with the G60 items.

Can tell from your pic if you've got 15's or bigger cos you'll need them to clear the calipers.

or you can get away with using spacers to relocate your calipers and then just put 280 mm disks on and your away,
