99SPEC brakes

What's is the difference between the 99+ and pre 99 brakes system, both front and rear?

Calipers are same except fronts are wider, rears have longer brackets. Rotors are 12.4", 1.25" wide up front, 0.79" in back.

You are gaining rotors that are 0.9" bigger in diameter and .25" wider. If you aren't road racing the car and exceeding the stock braking capability, then ANY brake "upgrade" isn't worth the money.
