i was going to... FWIW the pads are the same.

but i hear they don't bolt up exactly... the bolt holes don't line up... u will need to figure something out...

this is hearsay btw.
so take it with a grain of salt

front calipers and pads are the same. no point. FD rotors are a little bigger. but don't fit on FC.

FD calipers bolt directly to a TII or any 4-pot stock brake FC. The calipers are basically the same, if anything the TII calipers are probably lighter but not as stiff.

FD rotors are bigger but you'll need to do something besides bolt the FD caliper on. FD rotors on a FC will rub on the caliper.
