abs rotors are larger in diameter.

well since i had calipers, rotors, pads from my friends abs s13 hatch, i decided to put them on my non abs 240.

the installation was straight forward. the only thing you had to do was cut the heatshield because the non abs heatshield would rub against the abs calipers and rotors.

sry i dont have any comparison pictures btwn the abs and non abs calipers but the abs calipers are a lot more beefier than my non abs ones. and the rotors are like you said bigger. the pads also are alot larger than mine was.

the braking improved ALOT just by using the abs calipers/rotors/pads.since i didnt pay for them, it was a cheap brake upgrade =).

I used PDM's front 300z conversion brake lines for my rear calipers. The only problem is that they are too long and I had to coil up the extra slack in the line to make them fit. I wouldn't advice doing this, but in a pinch it will work
