Post early 911 brake upgrades

Has anyone had experience in upgrading early 911 front brakes to larger systems ?

I note Paragon has an upgrade kit using larger rotors and Boxster calipers and dogbone adaptor plates. Says the new rotors and calipers will fit inside the orig 15" Fuchs rims. Can anyone confirm this ?

Seeing the new calipers are 4 pot, does this place extra load on the master cylinder and pedal effort ?

I currently have the orig. steel calipers but after being used to my M030 brakes on the S2, the brake feel is a little too "original" for my liking and I wonder how they will perform on the track ?
