I don't know for sure, but I'd say they would, if you also use the BF XR8 callipers. BA/BF fronts will fit the front (according to DBA site they use the same replacement part number on XTs etc). The back discs on an AU/BA/BF low spec are 14.5mm thick, but on a BF XR8 they are 24mm thick. This doesn't mean they won't fit as the calliper would be wider to compensate and i would assume the only difference between BF and BF XR8 are the discs and callipers for the rears. I could be wrong though, so you may want to ask ford if XR8 rear discs and callipers can be fitted to a standard BF; if the answer is yes, then they should fit an AU, but may need 3mm spacers on the calliper mounts.
