Yep. They fit very nicely with minor modifications.

Back can work but you lose the E-brake so most folks don't do it.

Front fit OK but you have to machine the rotors down on the OD if you want proper caliper clearance. The piston bores are all huge so your brake bias gets trashed immediately. I now it can be dialed back to rights with a balance bar but I'm not sure if an adjustable prop valve has enough travel.

Plan on a bigger MC/booster too so your pedal isn't mush. I looked at this and ended up doing a DIY mandeville setup instead.
