    Default Brake Rotors for sale online, will they fit?

    I have a VR SS, and don't know if the front rotors are different to a standard VR. This looks like a good deal, but don't want to buy them without being sure they'll fit.

    Holden Front Hub/Rotor Brake Discs VR/VS for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

    They gave me this Repco part number: 9946109 Hub & Disc.

    Any ideas, or not enough info to go on?

    SS rotors should be the same bud, someone might correct me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure all factory holdens had the same brakes from about VC to VS.

    Thanks! I'd like to go bigger and better but it looks like the kits are pretty expensive. This will keep me out of trouble for a while...

    Is it just me or did they fit the smallest brakes possible on my Holden?

    The standard brakes on Commodores have never been great until the VT went twin piston etc

    The brakes on my mates Hyundai Accent are better then mine.

    In my experience - VP and earlier, the disc is part of the hub. Where VR-VS discs are a hat over hub arrangement measuring 286mm diameter x 24mm thick with single piston calipers, V6 & V8 discs are the same except HSV are larger diameter 328mm?.
    The VT discs measure 296mm x 28mm thick with 2 spot calipers. These will fit VR-VS with spacers for hubs, as VT hubs use a slightly larger wheel bore. Alternatively use VT Hubs and it bolts on. Chassis end of brake hoses are different though, requiring aftermarket ones.

    I'm about to fit Slotted VT discs with Nissan 4 pot calipers using custom brackets.. Hoses & Hubs/Hub spacers Umm

    I Found the brake setups different from VN though to the VS. Might want to double check. Hell i cant even remember now, I Know the VX has the same set up as the VY SS lol

    What I mean is the calipers are the same (think) the rotors and hubs changed a few times.
    But if those rotors are for the VS, then they will fit.


    Frankly the calipers don't look a great deal different to the brakes off the Torana's and HQ's .

    Thanks for all the help guys. It turns out I have enough brakes left that I don't need to do it for a few months. I'll keep working on other problems in the meantime.
