they should fit no problem, all au 2&3 are the same except premium brakes but they all have the same stub axle and will accept brembos. but you will have to find wheels to fit over them. alot of the wheels i like won't fit over them i haven't got the brembos yet but will be down the track so i have to get wheels that fit.

well in saying that if they are of an FG how hard would it be to change the mounting bracket? or could u still use the origional AUII bracket and just modify that?

You'll need the correct size and offset rotors as well. Brembos won't just bolt up over the standard rotors.

That's correct, if you spin the bracket around they'll fit fine. Do note though, if you're buying an FG kit (calipers, rotors, lines) you will need longer lines for the AU, the FG's are quite short. Obviously you will need discs to suit and they're a lot cheaper buying in a kit (see Matt from Race Brakes Sydney, he did my 4 + 4 Brembos for my Fairmont Ghia).

I think i just left the brackets on there and put the left rotor on the right side and right on the left....just incase you didnt want to spend the 5 mins swapping them around tho.
