vr/vs 215i brakes

[lowvpcal]

hey guys ive got myself a set of vs senator 215i twin piston brakes. im curious to know if i need an adaptor or something to get the discs and calipers on without any hassles cheers

They bolt on without any hassles. I have a set on mine and they work great, stop really well. Just make sure the bleed nipple is at the top and take no notice of the L and R cast on them. They were off a corvette (90's model) and they were mounted on the back not the front like the commodore. Only thing is you need the brakes lines (I got braided lines matched to the old ones), the ones off the 215i model will be fine. There is a bracket that should come with them as they have to sit further out than the originals because of the larger rotor. Here are some pics for you.







EDIT: See my thread that was started regarding this too.

ok cheers mine have all that what size discs should i get? the reason for this thread is cause theyre goin on a vp

[NickVR]

They didn't come with discs? That won't be cheap. They are a 328mm rotor, DBA part number is DBA046.

i could go 330 fronts and 315 rears yeah? i also got the rear calipers and all the hoses. yea no discs but i got them for $50 so im not complaining lol. would they work fine with the v6 brake booster and master cylinder thats already on my car

[NickVR]

I am still using the stock booster on my car but a 1 inch master cylinder and they work well. As for using 330mm rotors, I'm not sure if that will work. You will have to see if you have 1mm in the caliper and if the width of the rotor is similar plus the other sizes (hub, etc.). If you can get the 330mm cheap secondhand then you won't have much to loose but wouldn't buy them to find out you can't use them that's all.

Slight differences but don't think it will work.

oh ok fair enough what about the rears ?

[NickVR]

Not sure. Didn't upgrade the rears on mine. Have a look through the DBA site, but each rotor is different. If it was the same then they would have the same part number anyway so you would have to get the ones that match the caliper.
