Default Rear Brake upgrade for AU1 with I.R.S

Looking at upgrading the rear brakes on my AU1 XR8 with I.R.S.
Having looked on the sites here and it seems the rear brakes off a BF2 XR8 or Turbo with vented rotors or the Territory rears will fit.
Is this correct?
By reading on here they require a spacer of approx 3mm between the caliper and mounting point for the Bf's to fit at the correct position. Do the Terrority's calipers require the same size spacer to fit?
Are the Terrority's rotors vented as well?

Any information would be appricated.

To be honest i know this is the case with the AU11 and 111 series when fitting the BF or BA set up but i have never done this upgrade on the AU1.

Can you tell me if the BF2 and Terrority rear brakes are the same for calipers and rotors (both vented)?
Might have to be one of the first to try to fit them onto a SER1.

Rotors are the same but i think the calipers are different and maybe it is just in the offset.

Thanks for that. I'll get on the AU site and see if I can get any info about BF and Terrority calipers.
