HSV/AP Racing Calipers on S1 SS-V?

[turbodragon]

Hey,


Just brought myself a set of 4-pot AP Racing brakes for my S1 SS-V and was wondering if the brake lines need to be changed or can I re-use the SS-V ones?

Also, was there any differences between E1, E2 and E3 4-pot brakes? I believe my ones are from a E2 but is anyone able to visually confirm?

Cheers.

mine are off an e2 on a ss series1no problems fitting, mine came with the lines, debate here on which will fit properly, rears are ok, but its the fronts when at hard lock,

Was the caliper brackets and all that the same? Is the only thing I need to change is the brake lines to suit the E2 calipers?

bolt straight up, no extra brackets, they bolt in place using same holes as stock VE SS brakes, as the rears are the same lines no problems just the fronts, I have seen couple of pics on here somewhere showing the difference

Cheers for the info! Just brought braided lines all round so that solves that issue

Will your wheels fit with the new brakes??

Yep, trial fitted my rims on a mate's Maloo on the weekend and they JUST clear. Fingers crossed a stone doesn't flick up and get caught between rim and caliper though, cos it's tight

Surprised to learn the BBS reps clear the HSV brakes but that's good news!

My reply was actually a bit misleading, cos I do need spacers to clear them haha soz!
