Ss brakes onto sv6

[velj]

Hey guys I'm putting ss brakes on my sv6
They rnt stock they are same size just slotted and drilled, my question is will it fit onto a normal 18 inch stock rim that's on the sv6 and ss?
And where can I get a bracket for the caliper and it will need to stick out further?

I'm struggling to understand what you are doing.
Are you replacing your SV6 calipers and rotors with an SS set? Use the bracket supplied with the SS caliper.
Or just using your standard rotors with cross drilled and slotted rotors?
... Either way 18" wheels are no problem.

Ok I'm buying new pads and rotors and for the price I can get the ss ones for a little more slotted and drilled, I'm not changing calipers because apparently they r the same, but I'm going to need some sort of bracket because the ss rotors are about 30mm bigger, that means the calipers need to be set back more!

These are the sizes of the disc, in diameter V6 front 298 mm
V8 321 mm front

So you will need the caliper bracket that you would find on a V8.
There is no "adaptor" bracket, finding a wrecker that will separate the bracket and caliper will be hard.
Best to just buy a front set off a V8 and use them, they are easy to find, people are always upgrading to the Brembo replacement.

True true, il see what I can find, where does the bracket connect to so I can describe it? Or would holden sell it?

Hey mate. I recently did this. Firstly it will fit with the 18 inch. Secondly grab a set of ss calipers from eBay. Remove the bracket from the ss caliper and fit to the sv6 caliper then fit up. Saves you having to bleed the system etc unless your going to do a flush. The ss and sv6 caliper is exactly the same.

Sell the ss caliper and the sv6 bracket with pads and discs.

Yeh true, did the calipers you get are they bigger the sv6?
Also how much did u pay I don't no how much I should offer, iv asked a few wreckers and they don't no what I'm talking about, where does the caliper connect to?

 

[velj]

Sorry where does the bracket that the caliper is connected to go to?
