DIY Upgrading brakes questions

Hi guys,

I got an 85 s3 rx7, and it's about to get a s5 13b motor and turbo put in, after that I obviously want to upgrade the brakes on it.

I was thinking of s5 brakes.... just wanted to know how hard it is to put the bigger discs on, as well as caliper changes? I wouldn't think it would be all that hard but any good advice or tech help would be appreciated. I get the general idea of how to do it just wanna know peoples experiences or things to look out for/suggestions.

Cheers

Hes putting a TURBO 13B in it, lol. But yeah, as I understand, they all got -SE suspension down there. Anyway, good luck with the swap, thats the only site I know of off the top of my head.
