Got it, thanks anyway, i think..
I fitted a VL V8 diff to my 6cyl VK SL, the diff came with VL disks and calipers brake lines and handbrake cable. Removed the old drums with the old diff bolted up all the VL rear end and then bolted up my 15/16 4WD master. all has seemed good up until I needed to brake a bit harder than normal and the started fishtailing. I seem to have too much brake bias to the rear. This could be due to rear tyres being a litle low on tread or my shockers being less than bran new but I am pretty sure the standard 6cyl VK front disks are below par. I would recommend at least changing to the VL 298mm rotors with matching calipers and 15inch wheels (I still have the 14s) But I am looking at doing a 330mm rotor and twin piston caliper upgrade on mine along with a 17inch wheel upgrade to fit over the brakes. Then maybe fitting adjustable height struts with new shockers. All in the interest of pulling up straight again. It used to pull up dead straight with the original disk/drum standard combo.i just wana know what the differnce is with vk calipers 2 vn. i am getting rid of the drums.
Does the VK with rear drums and a 15/16 have a proportioning valve? I cant see one in the lines anywhere. If a VL has one then maybe I need to fit one. Brakes were well bled after the conversion was finished and pedal feels firm and doesnt fade when held on for an extended period of time so dont think I have air in lines.
To add to the post:- Found the proportioning valve its built into the master cylinder. There is a chance it could have been dicky as it came from a wrecked VK calais 6cyl EFI.
The front rotors are smaller than the rear ones.
The Front rotors have been changed to 330mm, Calipers are now PBR C4 twin piston and master cyl is 1 inch new PBR. Brakes pull up real well now. From high speed can jam on the brakes as hard as I like and will slow down completely even and eyeball poppingly quick.
