I think you need spacers if your using BA calipers .. not sure if it's xr calipers or standard or both so id ask about that.
I'm going BF xr8/6T/Territory fronts which bolt straight on. |

Long story short he said the BF option was better for what i wanted and was cheaper than the BA option but i'm upgrading to premium size not standard size. |

Yeah guys, take off an AU caliper, and the disc, put on a BA disk, and caliper, use the brake line that comes with the caliper, hook it up and your done, couldnt be simpler. And I deffinately did not use a spacer of any kind. The BA XT brakes and calipers when side by side with the AU's are quite an upgrade.

you want BA lines. if u want to go braided now is the time because your going to bleed the system anyway with swapping calipers. but going braided fronts only doesnt do as much because the back will "swell" instead of having firm pedal feel like itwould with braided all round./

Day-Mow, the calipers are the only change for the rear as well. Bolt straight on. The rotors are bigger, BUT, the calipers fit AU2/3 pads. So you can reuse the ones you have.
