Huh? Not entirely sure what your question is, but if it is: Can I put 2nd gen brakes on my first gen by just swaping out the "brakets", and master, then No... Its a bit more complicated than that. The brakets are part of the steering knuckle. The discs are part of the hub on a first gen, and the 2nd gen hubs don't swap onto the first gen spindles. The spindles are part of the strut, which is also the mount for the steering knuckle.

In short, unless you swap most or all of the suspension uncluding the steering, or have some significant custom machine work done, it won't work.
