    Default Brake upgrade for a VT

    Does anyone know where I can get some brackets to space a VT commodore's calipers to make them fit over 330mm rotors?
    There is a guy on eBay that sells them, so I know that someone makes them.
    I just wanted to know if there's anyone else out there that has done the upgrade and where you got them from and how much they cost?

    Cheers
    Glenn

    Yeah I've seen there kits, are the VE brake calipers better than the ones in the standard VT?

    I've double checked GSL's thread and they only fit 322mm rotors from what I can see.

    Whats the big advantage of the VE calipers over the VT ones?

    Because there is two options for the VE calipers to fit onto 296mm/322mm rotors does that mean they're spaced to fit onto the 322mm rotors or are they different calipers all together?

    They come with spacer brackets to suit the different size rotors. The calipers have smaller diameter pistons so this kit doesn't require any master cylinder or booster change.

    I do the kits too for $795.
