never had to do it on a RHD. But just make sure you keep the arm (the one that attaches to the pedal) the same length.
Are you replacing the booster as well or just the master cylinder? If you're doing the booster as well. OMG... it might knick the crap out of your shock tower if you don't separate the affair.
If you do separate it, some opt to "bench bleed" it. They just simply fill it up with brake fluid first and depress the rod a few times to burp the master before it goes on so no air travels into the lines making it a real lengthy bleeding process.

its just the master cylinder, found a "how to" and sounds pretty easy
im in 2 minds as to whether i should go with 262mm size rear discs with slightly larger caliper on rear of my ek4 (run the legend conversion on front), im pretty happy but would like a little more from back especially when on track so balance is little better
if i do go for it then gonna see how pedal feels and if not happy with feel will try larger

If you have the opportunity to upgrade to the larger rear discs, I would go for it especially if you're tracking it. Some have avoided the added rotating mass of the larger discs by just using a more aggressive rear pad.
the additional weight is huge factor thats put me of so far, more aggressive rear pad makes most sense but if i buy some new rear pads (run oem at the moment) im gonna have to buy new set of discs and if im still not happy then seems ive wasted money and will have to buy whole new setup anyway
decisions, decisions
