    yep, theyre the same as vp and vr calipers aswell, so dont go paying a fortune for them.

    i paid about 40 for a pair a few months ago, then got em cleaned up and whacked a seal kit in.

    look and work good as new.

    they should fit on a vk, not sure.

    they actually sit further out from the disc, so u need bigger 290mm discs aswell.

    i also fitted a 1" master cylinder to get rid of the spongy pedal.

    yes i was going to say the only diffrence they are mounted out further to clear the 290mm disc where the stock fronts are 277mm. so these wouldnt fit stock disc as only half pad would touch

    correct, and the front stock discs are only 270, not 277.

    i also modified and fitted hx pads to get more pad on the bigger disc aswell
