Is it possible to use brakes off another falcon on my Na fairlane like au calipers for example. If it's not worth time, money or doing seeing as this is just a cruiser what disks should I use ie normal solid disks, slotted, slotted and dimpled, slotted and drilled, dimpled, drilled or drilled and dimpled.

AU/B series brakes will not fit E series.
Slotted rotors with decent pads are about all you can do without fitting a full brake kit. |

Doing a fluid flush with good quality fluid can also offer a marked improvement in braking. Especially if your fluid looks like this:

I just replaced mine with nylon dot 4. Thanks for the replies I need to replace my rear disks and brakes as my rear disks are glazed up to s**t. Front ones are fine but I want some slotted ones to go with my ebc green stuff pads.

Steel braided lines from brake safe are a worthy upgrade I feel too... Happy with mine and improved pedal feel... I run DBA T2 rotors and have found them to be good too...
Cheers, Tim

I have Safebrake braided lines, Motul RBF600 brake fluid, DBA slotted and cross-drilled rotors and QFM HPX pads on my EF wagon. This combo pulls the car down HARD, though might not cope with repeated hard braking like on a track day. Still can't get rid of the annoying pedal travel before it starts biting though - unlike the instant bite of my AU2.

AU2 braking is because you have twin pot calipers on the front.
Big difference to the single pots on the E series. |

I'm running standard, boring old ugly rotors at the moment.. But I havnt had any issues with my Eseries braking.... Stops on a dime if I need it too... Good enough for street use anyway...
May consider slotted or something tho when their due for replacement as they look better  haha but that's the only reason..

Drive an AUII/III and see what the difference is. |

When a set of lights with a red light camera changes at the last second.. From 70kmph it stops quick enough, cirtainly throws the Mrs forward haha.

Noo... They are better by a long shot, Especially the twin pot ones, I was saying that my Eseries brakes fine enough for street use, And that I don't like driving AUs haha
