Hey guys, after a few year break from owning fords i'm now the owner of a au ii xr8. Just wondering if anyone knows if the front brake mounts are the same as a ba? reason i ask is, i have a set of 355mm discs and 4 piston calipers that used to be on my xr6t that id like to put on the au if possible. Any help would be great.

I can't confirm it but I'd say it would be worth a go if you have them there. Not sure about the 8's but my AUII XR6 accepted standard ba calipers and rotors (298?mm) and as far as I know the uprights on the ba's are the same for the standard/big brake options. Papa_Smurf should be able to confirm.
It's more drama with series one au's as I understand but still possible. You would also need 18's minimum I think.

You can use the BA Brake setup but make sure you use the BA hoses also, use the BA bracket to hold the hose.
I did the BA brake upgrade to my AU1 and it required the replacing of lower control arms, stub axles and sway bar but well worth the time and trouble. |

I've just replaced the discs and callipers on my AU2 with standard BA discs and callipers. Im not quite finished as I still have to bleed the lines but I'm concerned by the brake hose bracket. The ones on my AU appear to be spot welded onto the strut. Do I need to remove some brake hose brackets from a pair of dead BA struts and weld them to my AU struts? Thanks Chris |
