Default sti v2 brake upgrade with v5 4 pots advise please

i just got my self a set of 4 pot front and 2 pot rear calipers with brand new drilled and grooved disc's with brand new red stuff pads (was a real bargin i couldn't resist)

my v2 sti has the plane calipers these ones are larger ( have Subaru written on them) the discs match the new calipers and so do pads.

is it just a straight swap or do i need anything else?
i am guessing its a straight swap over ?

some clarity from you guys would be good!

Thanks in advance!

fronts are a straight swap provided the wheels clear the calipers.
