    Default VT SS Brakes onto a VS

    I want to upgrade my brakes soon and i know the vt brakes will fit onto the front of my VS

    But want to clear up a few things before i go ahead with it.

    Since the vt hub bore on the rotors are slightly larger than the vs.. to fix this you can put a shim in between the rotor and hub, but i have also been told that you can fit VT hubs onto the VS and wont have to worry about the shim?
    Is this true?

    And will the calipers bolt straight on without having to use mounting brackets etc...?

    And then all thats left is the different brake hoses and larger master cylinder??

    Cheers, Jonathan

    You can buy a DBA disc specially designed for the VT to VS fitment, VT disc 296x28 with VS 70mm bore. part#DBA-040B

    OR
    you can use spacer rings available on eBay for around $50-60

    Calipers bolt straight on but you will need adapting brake hoses with a VS body fitting and VT caliper fitting.

    You can fit a VT master using a spacer available from Race brakes in Sydney
    Performance Brake Packages

    Lastly if your car is abs equipped you won't be able to use VT hubs as they use a different abs tooth count to that of the VS also don't know if the VS ball joint fits the VT hub.

    Hope that clears up a few things.
