I do that exact same kit for $795 shipped.

Everything bolts straight up, there are brackets that fit the calipers to the existing mounts, and the calipers actually mount the opposite to what is cast into the caliper as they fit on the rear of the rotor instead of the front like the VE, this is to put the bleeder at the top where it is supposed to be.
I know this is an old post but are these still available, front and rear.
I assume they fit under senator rims OK?

That user hasn't been online in well over a year and I don't think he's in that business any more either.

Did you end up finding a VE upgrade? I se you live in the sunny wagga wagga mate. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.
I’m still looking at options. One of the forum members has fitted Wilwood which I’d like to do but it will depend on the budget.
Getting to the time of year where Wagga has nice weather, for a couple of months anyway…

upgrade to a vt-vy mc/booster first than you any fit any brakes i upgraded the fronts of my vs ute to VEs nearly 10 years ago they worked well but when i did the mc/booster upgrade 5 years ago it just makes them work a lot better and the pedal feel is perfect

heres my thread where i had a issue and we discuss which way the hoses go

Thanks for the info. VT MC upgrade looks to be the popular way to go.
My other issue may be vacuum. Cam is 235/242. Was thinking I may need a vacuum pump too??

this is the one i brought from ebay 5 years ago he is the cheapest if you put in a bid, comes with brand new master cylinder, mine came with a 2nd hand one but it still works fine

VK Group C Replica, 1995 VR Sedan
I’ve just purchased a very clean 1 owner 48k kms VR Aclaim V6 sedan, I’m looking to upgrade the front brakes as the rotors need replacing at a minimum. (I’ve done a VT upgrade with VS booster on my VK so understand the process).
Is this the normal build of materials for the VR:
VR 1-inch V8 master cylinder (Std 15/16)
VE V6 front rotor 298mm & calipers
Std VR brakes hoses.
Is there a minimum wheel size required?
Std rim is 15-inch, looking for some 17” VX SS rims.
There appears to be some conjecture on this site with the necessity to use VT style fast fill master cylinder???
