Changing to compacts

Hey y'all. Thinking about the possibility of changing my standard cranks to compact. I currently run shimano 105 5700l (if that means anything) and have a couple of Q's for all the technically minded peeps out there

1- I've seen a shim 105 5750 crank. Will this fit my existing set up?
2- do I need to change the bottom bracket?

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

Make sure you loosen those two screws on the non drive side crank before trying to remove that plastic do dad on the side of the crank....

If you want to climb faster, get compacts. PERIOD.

Even the pro's use em. 42 used to be the standard in the peleton and now 39 and 34. Thats with INCREASED 'preparation' methods.
