Default BF 322mm brakes onto au series 2

Hi there.

Can someone explain to me what's needed to change over to PBR 322mm brakes?
Does the calliper bolt straight into the existing spot, or a is an extra bracket needed?
Also are the BF and FG the same?

The reason I ask, is I'm looking at a set if 322mm of eBay. Description says it includes callipers, rotors and pads. Is there anything missing to suit an AU?

Thanks.

Bolts straight up, you'll need 17 inch wheels though.
