the calipers are the same as ef/el

to fit au2/3 brakes on au 1 u need the uprights/lower control arms
claipers/discs/ anti roll bar

so would the au front end (lower control arm uprights shocks kframe ) all suspension parts bolt to a ef so then i could do this brake mod and in turn have AU offset

Guys, how owuld you install the rear mounting bushes of the series II/II or even BA to a series I. I beleive they are missing the mounting block in the chassis. Is this correct?

I am looking at doing this and I am about to get some bf front suspension and I have looked at it all, and I would like to know, how do you attach the sway bar mounts as the au1 chassis is missing 2 holes on each side of the chassis for the bracket to bolt on to. will the au2/3/ba/bf sway bar fit in the existing mounts?

The only other this I thought of is drilling 4 holes, but I dont really want to do that.

if I were to get the 'kit' from the BA with all the front suspension etc... are the ABS sensors the same? if yes then no worries.

cheers
