Will 996 GT3 brakes bolt right on?

I'm thinking about upgrading the calipers and rotors and have been eyeballing 996 GT3 brake setups. Anyone done this before?

Two different somewhat easy upgrades I know of - 350mm brakes which use stock calipers, spacers, and 997 rotors and 380mm brakes which are a bit more involved and require calipers as I recall. Bear in mind that 380mm will also likely not fit 18inch wheels, only some will fit. I've got a google spreadsheet with many of the part numbers, the spacers for 350mm are silly money if you buy them but fairly easy to make.

Thanks, buddy!

I think I'm gonna go all in on the brake upgrade. Larger calipers and rotors. I have 19's so I should be good with clearance.
