Default Brembo bugeye conversion

Ive got a bugeye wagon with a pcd of 5x100 but ive bought a full set of brembos with discs from an 05 sti which have the 5x114 pcd.
What i need to know,is what do i need to have drilled so that i can fit the brakes onto my car.
Do the calipers have to be drilled or is it the discs-or both.What are the pitfalls or is it straight forward and what companies do i approach,to do the work(im in the worcestershire/west mids areas).
Cheers

P.S. I mean the discs, as far as i know the callipers are a bolt-on mod.

calipers are a direct fit (as long as your wheels clear them)..........as for the discs either have them re-drilled by an engineering company to the 5x100 PCD or sell those discs and put a set of earlier ones on
