Default E series to AU brakes

Just picked up my new au series one xr8 and the brakes need to be fixed asap, i have recod calipers, braided brake lines, slotted rotors and brand new pads currently on my eb v8 fairmont.

What i would like to know is what can i use/transfer onto the au.

XR8 is an option 20 with rear disk's drilled, full tickford body kit in need of some tlc, 18'' amg rims with tinted windows.

The calipers would be the only thing that could be transferred.
If you want brakes on one , fit the Series 2 bits in the front end and then fit BA BF calipers and rotors.

yes from S2 on they are the same as BA but on S1 the mounts are different. to upgrade the S1 to S2 you need to replace the Stub axle , lower control arm, stabiliser bar, hubs, rotors and callipers. even stock S2 brakes are a big step up from the under braked S1
