S5 GXL brakes > S5 TII brakes

i'm doing some shopping in order to improve my brake system, and i've decided on brembo rotors and hawk pads all around. however, i was wondering what exactly is needed in order to convert my brakes to TII specifications.

i know the GXL and TII both have 4 piston brakes up front, but what else would i need to switch over? i read that the TII master cylinder and some SS would be a great addition, but are the rear brakes on the TII really any different from the GXL, or would i be ok with what i have?

AFAIK the GXL and the TII have identical brakes.

Alright thanks, I wasnt too sure on the correct specifications, so I asked.

I've searched and read conflicting views on what brakes are on what, so would just new pads and rotors be sufficient enough for daily and spirited driving?

brembo OE replacment rotors (if you need them otherwise stock is fine) and hps pads are a great combo for daily and light track driving. i have this combo, as do many other guys on the board, and its great. good feal and ive never had them fade on my once, and ive pushed them pretty stinkin hard too.
