Won't you need to swap the calipers (not cradles) side to side as well, ala FG brembo's?
Due to FG running the brakes in front of the disk and AU's trailing it

Cheers

The AU III XR8 brake calipers are at the front of the rotor not behind it.

Plenty of people had bolted FG Brembos on to the front of AU II and AU III without a whole lot of dramas. Do some reading in the T-Series room Austin.

Thankyou guys I should clarify though that Im not talking brembos, rather just FG XR6T brakes, i think Ive got a set lined up for when Im ready.

Unless Jeff you want to do a deal on brembos and azzuros to go behind them!
