Hi guys, been a while since I popped my head in. I just recently picked up a cheap AU to drive as a daily driver so I have time work on my XB. I have tried to do a search, but I was not really succesful in finding what i wanted.

I remember reading somewhere on the forum, that either BA front suspention or parts of, including the brakes can be installed into an AU.

I just wanted to know if I was remembering correctly or not?

Cheers

hello,its been a while..

yes,
i have a series1 au ghia that i have fitted ba front brakes to..
the ba front suspension fits straight into au2 and will go into au1 with minor mods..

I just got some info from somone on a Facebook group. Mine is a series I AU, so i have been told I will need calipers, rotors, stubs, lower arms, swaybar,links, swaybar mount. I was thinking I may need a to replace the K frame

I am still a little unsure about a few things.

Do I need BA Struts, or are they the same as AU struts? Do I need to upgrade the master cylinder, or will the AU one be alright? And my last question is, can you use territory brakes and rotors on an BA?

Cheers

Hi Troy, yes it has been a while lol. How ninor are the mods to the series I ???

only where the sway bar mounting brackets bolt to the chassis, the holes are there on the outside of the rails but not on the inside, you can drill the whole way through the rail and use long bolts..

i have read on a thread on aff that you can actually use the series 1 lower control arms with a eb swaybar and just swap the upright/stub axle over to just use the better brakes..

you can also keep the series1 booster and master cyl if you want,
i have fitted a series2 booster and master cyl but the boost mounting holes in the firewall have to re drilled to suit...

just keep the au struts, you can fit ba ones if you want but its not necessary

Nice, thanks Troy thanks for your help. Hey what happened to the thread taging? Did people get upset with it ?

umm i think its still there?? lol
not much has changed,,,

When I started this thread I wasnt made to tag it before I posted it.

I have found an 03 XR6 being wrecked near me, he has the whole front end minus the sway bar. Ill see how I go getting that.
