Default Brake upgrade

I scanned around the website, and couldn't locate specific mention about if anyone had changed out their standard XK8 brake calipers and rotors for the brake package that came on the XKRs (larger rotors and Brembo calipers)?

Is it as simple as taking off one and bolting on the other? Besides the larger rotors and calipers, do you need a different proportioning valve and brake hoses/lines?

I'm thinking about doing this, but want to make sure it's not going to turn into a major hassle that will in some way compromise the braking system in my car. Thoughts?

Oops! Kindly disregard...I found several threads already addressing this issue.

What did you find concerning the Parking brake with the switch to Brembo's?
