What's involved in fitting the larger (and all round ventilated) brakes from a 280 to a 220?

On the Superb MK3, the 340mm diameter front discs are matched with 310mm ventilated rear discs, whereas the 312mm diameter front discs are matched with 300mm solid rear discs.

 

To go from 312mm to 340mm, you would need to change the discs, calipers, brake pads, caliper carriers, and the cover plates.

and you can then jump to the Porsche Macan 4 pot on the 340 disk or buy the 345 disk. The best I've seen is 252 USD + freight. Need the pads and brake line as well which is available to suit this conversion.

Not tried it,
