Very costly.
4-wheel disks were an option on PTs - standard on the GT turbo, and always came with ABS. The disks, etc, aren't the issue, the ABS is.
What are you after? Better braking? Buy expensive front disks and Ceramic pads for the fronts - the fronts do 80% of the braking.
I got Brembo disks, and good ceramic pads at Tire Rack.
You cannot buy turbo disks, they won't fit in your calipers - pads are the same.

Yes you are correct the abs needs to be replace also
i got the rear end and i also purchase the abs module to be honest i got 3 of them thinking it was the same or they will work but i made two mistakes

4 disc, abs and tracking control
the correct module is P 05273680

this will work on touring and limited from 2000 to 2004
you also have to look at the plugs there are some units with two plugs

Add to this, once you install everything to include ABS, you have to get your PCM reflashed to utilize the ABS function, otherwise you may just end up slamming on your brakes one day and find out that they just lock up.
