sweet looks like im getting a vt upgrade then. thanks fellas. has anyone done this conversion, any little tricks i should no about?

You gotta cut your backing plate to get the calipers on. Might also be a good time to change your brake fluid if it hasnt been done recently too

the dba cross drilled rotors crack from exseive heavy braking.

you have to put new fluid in any way because you have to change the calipers

i havent heard of them crackign before? backign plate should be easy, use plasma cutter. would it be possible to use 6 piston calipers?

 

[Hillerus]

Why? How fast are you planning on going?

i dunno i just think 6 piston ones would look wicked good with 19" wheels. my mate is getting these 8 piston freaks for his rex(rice burner) i dunno why, but that alot of stopping power. been talkign to the fella with conversion kit and he can do me cross drilled and slotted for same price. but i mite go with curved slots just to be safe, they look wicked as well.

Id just go with the twin pistons, braided lines all round and slotted rotors all round too. Im happy with the setup, wouldnt change it at all

well his quoted me 620 for everything thats on list except the calipers will be powder coated red and delivery. i havent quoted on rears, should put another 200-300 bucks on wont it. do u no the ratio of the pressure ffrom front to back? is it worth getting rears? thanks

 

[Hillerus]

May as well do the rears, its all done then....

900 bucks for all four. rears are cross drilled. do u think thats a good buy, he said the rear setup is normally 395 but will give them to me for 295. think its worth it? pbr calipers and stuff aswell.
