    Default VT break upagrde shims

    Hey all
    was reading somewhere that if you are doing the VT break upgrade you need shims in between the hub and the rotor? Mine seemed to fit up/work perfectly fine (standard VT/VX calipers/rotors)
    Do I or do I not need shims?
    Cars going in for mod plate tommorow so any advice would be appreciated
    cheers

    u can check this site ... VR- VS FRONT ADAPTOR BRAKE SLEEVES, SOLD SINGULAR AS (1)

    if u fit vt brake on ur vr/vs... the disc will be wobbies and noisey when u drive ... so use shim to correctly the center to stop movement ..

    i got vy upgrade on my VR ... no problem with shims .. its run beautiful ..

    Cheers
