a lot of the aftermarket conversions use the VT twin spot calipers.
the calipers themselves are almost identical to the AU twinspot ones, only the pads are slightly different. My friend realised this when his "VT disc conversion" on his Mk1 escort needed new pads. To fit them to an e-series is a bit of work. Wouldn't be much dearer or difficult to do the 330 mm upgrade IMO

In comparison the Cebco 330mm kits is $2500, so that setup above is a nice middle of the road package.

AU II spindles won't fit, the B/J's are in the arms, where as the E series were in the spindles. and the off set is different too.
I don't know of a cheap big brake set up for E's. My brakes work fine.

If you want AUII brakes you need to swap the WHOLE front end, spindles, suspension, sub frame, everything. And you will still need to modify it to fit.
