Default Will PCCB's bolt directly on a non-PCCB car?

I have a 2007 GT3 with factory oem steel brakes. I was looking at a set of used PCCB's from a 2007 GT3. The questions is: will these be a direct bolt on exchange? Or will I have to change other parts as well?
Thanks guys
Mark

different uprights I believe as I have an 07 RS with Pccb and was considering brembo gtr kit, but was told by brembo that I would need uprights from a steel brake car

watching your Pccb sale to see what the market is... honestly my Pccb calipers, type III rotors and RS 29s are proving to be more than enough brake for me

if there is such thing as "enough" :-)

The uprights and calipers are different as they are 380mm
Steels are 350mm, I think 996 ceramics will fit direct though as they are 350mm
Hope this helps

New uprights range from $1500 to $1800 each. Are both front and rear needed?

So what rotors do guys that have PCCB and swap to steel use? I had never though about it before and assumed the parts were interchangeable.

I had to find uprights for my 996 when I did the GT3 brake conversion. They probably can be had at a reasonable price if you can find a wrecked donor car. That's what I did.

remove Pccb and go with brembo type III, stop tech, giro disc, etc

all make suitable Pccb replacements
