Question Will BA Brake Lines Fit an AU2 Falcon

Just a quick question before i purchase a new brake kit, will the brake lines front and rear off a BA Falcon fit onto my AU2 XR8?
Thanks

Ok cheers for that JC.
What is the reason why the rear lines dont fit the AU if you know?
The kit im looking at has braided brake lines to suit the BA and would like to use them on my AU if possible.

As XR Lita said, they will fit fine - I assumed you would just use standard ones, so no need to change rears, but if it's braided, then different story.
