do later model front calipers fit?

[starfire vc]

just wondering if later model front calipers fit on a vl without an adaptor. i was thinkin like vr vs units???

[VL Berlina 5speed]

vs onwards no
not positive about vr

if you want a upgrade besides the vt twin spot then vl turbo or v8 is what you want, they are the same as vn v8 too

ok cheers mate

was just wondering if i cud use the vented ones on the likes of a vn ,vp etc. i assume there just single piston units with cooling fins being the only majour diffrence?

i will be doin the vt brake upgrade later on down the track along with the vt booster.but was wondering wat else i could do in the mean time

vs should bolt on. anything single piston from vn-vs should no worries. just make sure you go the 290mm rotors to suit.

and dont pay huge prices for "vl turbo" calipers, theyre not worth it. when you can get say vr calipers for $40ish and bolt them on(did this on my vn)

vs disc are free floating, not bolted on the hub like vl/vn disc
thats why i didnt specify the vr as im not sure if the float or bolt

still the same caliper

vr has the same disc setup as vs.

vb-p have the hub incorporated into the disc and bolt onto the spindle

vr onwards are a hat style which slides onto a seperate hub which bolts to the spindle.

both setups work the same way, and calipers fit earlier models with the right disc.

my bad thought you were refering to disc, didnt read properly
