Brake question

[Pav]

Will VN front and rear rotors/pads fit VK?

[SL/ENUT]

Should do. They are the same size.

[gslrallysport]

Pads will, as should rear rotors, but front rotors won't.

[Pav]

Hmm that's interesting, how come on ebay most of the front rotors are advertised as VB-VN?

Anyway, if the VN front rotors don't fit I have some spare VN struts, would that be a straight bolt on to the VK chassis and K-frame?

[Tom_1569]

Series 1 will fit IIRC, actually now your making me think. Rotors are always advertised VB-VN as you said, and VN/VP, but VN and VP had the same brakes didnt they? so VB-VP would fit you would recon... :S

I assume a VN strut will bolt in, I know the whole early VN k-frame bolts in so dont see why not.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The only ones that won't fit are FE2 or V8. If the caliper on the VN hasn't got fins the rotors are the same. The pads are the same from VB-VS.

The only ones that won't fit are FE2 or V8.

What are you referring to here? Struts or rotors?

[gslrallysport]

Yeah, depends what VN rotors they are. Series one up to chassis number 1569902 will, provided its not V8, or FE2 at NAAF said. Sorry, should've explained better...

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

What are you referring to here? Struts or rotors?

You asked about pads and rotors, that's what I answered.

[Pav]

Ok, well that clears it up for me, thanks guys

cheap upgrade is VL turbo / VL 5L 290mm front rotors, rda slotted / dimpled rotors are pretty well priced.

must use the finned calipers from VR/VS 6 or 8 with these, will give you a bit better braking than the stock 270mm rotors on a VK.
