Nope no different to fitting ralliart lancer front brakes on to a VRX lancer etc etc.

Tryg sends his regards, and thanks you for the email and tip about the 380 possibility. Although you don't know me, I work with him at the Army base. We drove up to Capalaba wreckers today from Canungra.
We took measurements from the ES/VR rotor and caliper hanger mounts before looking at a 380.
Tryg says the hub OD was the same, rotor reach and PCD was the same, but unfortunately the caliper hanger or mounting bolt centres were 160mm. The ES/VR has only 130mm centres. So, the 380 brakes could not be used unless you took the whole hub and stub-axle mount.
I thought it would be simple, but Tryg said the height of the strut mount was too tall, so you would need to take the whole strut. He said it was too big and that it would stuff up the geometry and handling (too stiff or large or something).
I am not sure if that helps, but it was a long day in the saddle for a bit of disappointment.
Regards
Nix
