    Default Possible to convert VN S1 exec to VT brakes AND ABS??

    Hey all

    there are 1000000000000 posts regarding the VT front brake conversion thats cool. What i also want to do is install ABS on the vn.

    I was just wondering should i convert the vn to ABS first and get that running.

    THEN convert to VT brakes but buy ABS rotors/hubs and that should still work? IF that makes sense lol Atm my rotors are so worn they make a squeeking noise that only goes away when the brakes are pressed. Instead of getting replacement rotors i might aswell upgrade to ABS and VT front brakes

    Cheers all!

    By the time you did and tested that and had the engineering cert you could have brought a VT

    So what.. roughly a shit vt is $7000 to buy:

    1 x unregistered vn,vp calais ($1000) Vs berlina fully opt went for $965 this month.

    1 x vt brake conversion kit ($800) or so with hubs adaptors etc..

    1x engineers cert (no idea, $1000?)

    Then ill have a light car with abs and twin piston calipers or a VT which is heavier and doesnt come with abs, while not having the appeal of an earlier model car :P

    I didn't literately mean that much but i know a lightweight VN with ABS would be a very good thing i agree.

    But would it really be worth your time in doing so.
    you may have to investigate a VR's system and see if you can adapt it.
    You have the unit under the bonnet and it's computer the wheel sensors etc.
