Hi all, i was wondering if I Can I fit brembo brakes on a vf 1 ssv with 20 inch Om-1 simmons
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
He's in NSW, I'm pretty sure the fact that they were available on a same-year variant (which includes HSV cars) means he doesn't need to get it engineered - as long as he fits the whole brake system.Fitting brembo brakes (that are not an option on your model variant) requires engineering certification.
Yes, it’s something that needs to be checked with RMS certified engineer and with RMS itself.He's in NSW, I'm pretty sure the fact that they were available on a same-year variant (which includes HSV cars) means he doesn't need to get it engineered - as long as he fits the whole brake system.
I wouldn't believe it is OR ISN'T required until talking to a certifying engineer about it, though.
That’s the kicker in all of this...Check with a friendly engineer in NSW but with that wording, I feel good to be in QLD:
1.1 MODIFICATIONS NOT REQUIRING CERTIFICATION
The following modifications may be performed without certification:
-Fitting a manufacturer’s optional braking system for the particular make/model;
So I bolted a front/rear Redline setup to my SS and moved on
But ... those parts were fitted to a different trim-level of the same car. Interpremetations.That’s the kicker in all of this...
For example, Holden never provided an option to order Brembo brakes on a SS model variant. If you wanted such brakes, Holden forced you to buy a different model variant like a SSV Redline.
Yes, different parts, both cosmetic and mechanical, are fitted to different ”trim levels” but they are certified against a specific model variant which is the terminology that's presented to the regulator in the manufacturers documents (as explained to me by DOTARS).But ... those parts were fitted to a different trim-level of the same car. Interpremetations.
It’s a little fluffy in a lot of ways.
