Corolla S brake upgrade

I am tired of adjusting brake shoes I need to convert my brake drum setup to discs
Has anyone done this conversion.
How difficult is this conversion
Apart from the basic calipers & rotors are there other components required?
Any information will be greatly appreciated.

easiest way i see doing this project would be finding a corolla XRS's rear discs. pretty straight forward swap from there.

^ Those are not very common. You might try to find out if the brakes from a Toyota Matrix XRS/Pontiac Voltz, or Toyota Celica GT-S fit to better your chance of finding those parts.

Is the process as easy as unbolting the brake drum components & bolting on the calipers or is there more to the conversion.
