ABS Calipers/Pads and Rotors are slightly Larger.

You may, might I stress “may” get a increase in braking performance.

Seach technical, they’re some pictures posted that’ll clarify with numbers. Also goto FAQ section and download the FSM for your cars year and it’ll give dimensions.

BTW: Yes they are a direct bolt on.
