I've done a search and can't find any info
I want to convert my AU1 brakes to AU2. You need to change to series 2 parts ^the front stub axle ^Control arm??? ^Calipers and pads ^Brake booster??? Is this right, has anyone done the conversion? |

a lot more than you think....
virtually everything in the front end is different and doesnt interreferance as far as im aware you'll need to put everything from an AU2 into your AU1(including crossmember, uprights, etc) |

because they are 1 and a half times better than the XD brakes on the series 1.. The bonus of changing the brakes is that all the associated parts give the front end a better geometry and handling characteristics
