    I have VT twin spots (C5's) on slotted rotors, with braided lines. Best upgrade ever! Just make sure you have a 1" master as mine is alittle spongy with the 15/16's (ABS so I cant upgrade).
    Currently organizing some Skyline R34 GT-t 4 spots with some HSV VT 343mm rotors for a project im working on.

    Installed a vt booster and master cylinder to my vp.
    Easy upgrade bled up very easily and was a bolt in job with some bending of the lines but the result is worth it ...makes you wonder if there was something wrong with my old original twin diaphram/master set up

    Its made painted and even tried in position to make sure it fitted before I fitted another one in the whole setup in my vp above.

    does the vt setup do anything interesting, i.e. does it actualy help braking with just the cylinder, or is it advisable to do the rest of hte upgrade?
