Master cylinder & VT Brake Upgrade kit

[VRCITY]

Hey guys... an gurlz'

ust had a question regardng VT Brake upgrade kits. I am wanting to know if it is ABSOLUTELY VITAL for the master cylinder to be upgraded to a vt spec as well...or will a standard VR master cylinder do the job??...

appreciate any thoughts

Cheers!

if your on a budget, just change the master cylinder..... other wise go for it all.

was more wonderin if i put the calipers on can my vr cylider cut it?
or are you saying that jamming a vt master in there would be better than doing the caipers and discs?

yur current master will do it....but not very good...

the big dfference comes when yu change the master, hence alot of people with low cash just changing the master

i will try and find a recent thread about it

i think the master cylinder's are only like $75 from the wreckers.....

I'd be very interested in changing the whole lot... Cylinder, disks and calipers... Think you could write a how to? Or know someone who has done it, and get them to?

And I'm guessing it's a huge job.. But the ABS system.. Is that just the master cylinder, or are there other components? If it's just the master cylinder, how hard would it be to install in a VS without without abs?

now you have 2 options..

1. go down the track upgrading to the VT disc setup, which you may or may not need the VT master, some have had good pedal feel without changing the master.

2. go the VE upgrade, the pistons are smaller, so require less fluid, which means you dont need to touch the master. a better option if you ask me. thread with info: http://forums.justcommodores.com.au...1997/107328-brake-upgrade-wheel-bearings.html

oh and you always have the VS GTS brakes too so 3 options

On my own car i have done Twin calipers, VT booster and VT master cyl. They are fantastic! i adapted the VT booster to the VS booster bracket.

recently i did caliper ONLY conversions on two VS commos and the pedal travel was further and required a fair shove of the pedal to get a decent bite.

Therefore my suggestion is go the booster and master too.
