I'm looking to upgrade the brakes on my EB.
How hard will it be to fit BA brake rotors and calipers ?
Will I need to swap the master cylinder ?
Thanks

Take a look at the EB strut design and you'll find that it won't be easy
You probably have to find a way of adapting the whole strut
And why would you want BA stuff......its shit.....BA has more brake trouble than Gen3 has engine trouble.
There are better upgrades avail for EB.......if you have suitable $$ and wheel size.

i`d say upgrade to aftermarket crossdrilled&slotted AU XR6/8 brakes&callipers, heaps cheaper and probably better (than stock BA)
steer away from the upgraded factory brakes (AU TE50/TS50) word has it replacement rotors and pads are super pricey
ELGT 330mm`s would be awesome with ABS and fat tyres, if no ABS just go stock GLi spec
performance ford mag has ads for a few places that do big brakes for E series

After a bit more research I'd have to agree BA brakes although bigger seem to have a similar shuttering problem I'm having.
The car has a turbo and is going to be a tow car for my Capri.
At the moment with standard brakes seem to start shuttering as soon as I drive to Sydney (over the mountains) so I think towing a car trailer could be dangerous with standard brakes.
