It is a completely different suspension.....the stub axle assemblies don't have ball joints like EL backwards......and the crossmembers are waaaayyy different too.

if your up for it you could just whack the whole AU front end under your monty, but just remember its not all bolt in and its a big job to do.

In other words, the reason we have not all done this already, is that it is either too expensive, $1500 or more for a brake upgrade kit, or the work involved to DIY it is rather complicated, including adapting an AU crossmeber and engineers report.
The simple, cheap option, is to just fit some std size slotted rotors and better pads. Cheers BenJ
