    they dont have paint on calipers bud, that was a premium pack option to go 330mm rotors. these have the standard metal calipers but arn't the pistons different in the hsv calipers? thats my question really

    seems odd that HSV would be build a 100k plus car with more power and leave the same brakes on as an ss

    grab a set of calipers and measure the size of the pistons?
    cant see why they would change that tho cos the disc size is still the same

    All VT's use the same brakes unless they are optioned up. We have a Senator II and it has standard VT brakes. Apart from me changing them to my custom slotted rotor.
