I like to change my front brakes from the old one to the V8-Brembos.It seems to me that the hubs are different.:-)
Do the new hubs and brake discs(ventilated and drilled)fit on the regular SE front link or do i have to change something?

Yes, but the actual wheel size must be larger to have the clearence to fit. The stock SE wheels can not be used. The hubs,discs, calipers will fit on the SE but the Brembo and AP require progressivly larger wheel diameters so the rotor/calipers clear the inside of the wheel edge. Also the spare tire wheel size needs to be changed incase you get a flat. I can remember more than one irate person that has suffered a flat to find that the spare did not fit because of the new brakes.

Hi Calvin,thnaks for your answer.The size of my wheels are no problem.I got 9X17 at the front and 10X17 wheels at the rear.
I`ve bought the brembos for some bucks including hubs,brake discs,pads(green stuff).
I hope the job is very easy.
I need a pair of rear cross drilled brake discs.Do you know which one i can use?

In Germany, Marcus at www.moto-concept.de has cross drilled rotors. I have suppliers but they are in the US. If I am not mistaken Steve at www.sjsportscars.co.uk has access to some as well.
