Default Brake confusion

Hi guys, its time I sorted my front brakes out as they are nearly worn out. I was doing some research about fitting some 4 pot calipers to the front. Would these fit behind my standard wheels and would i need to change anything else or will they just bolt straight on? Also am i right in saying that 2 pot calipers use 277mm discs and the 4 pot use 295mm discs? BTW car is a 1998 S reg uk turbo. Any help much appreciated!

anyone had any experience with the godspeed 4 pot conversion kit? Are the calipers any good, and how good are the discs and pads?

Your 98 car should be on 16" wheels, so should allow the 4-pots to fit. They WON'T fit under 15" wheels.
