can i upgrade my stock brakes to sport?

Just like the title says, I want to upgrade my tiny stock brakes on my sedan but i need a little help. What all do I need to grade from the tiny little ones to the monster big ones?
Is it just replacing rotors and calipers or does it require a big modification?
Also is it worth it to have it done?
The reason I want to get the bigger brakes is because I have the sport 19s on and the car looks funny with tiny brakes lol.
I don't track but do drive around town a lot.

no major modifications but you will need to cut the brake dust shield to get those rotors to fit properly
