Ok so anyone wanting to do the VE brake upgrade 322mm rotors and callipers i can recommend doing them now -

just remember right calliper goes left hand side and left calliper goes right hand side

with standard VP booster and master im more than happy with stopability and i havent even bed the pads in yet

they were $765 all up ve spec 322 mm rotors and callipers to suit + wheel hubs then $32for the wheel bearings did them same time - kit came wiht new brake fluid

so yeh $800 all up and there all silver - perfect for painting - and when they actually work - they put ya thru the windsheild hahah

BAD points -----
No Instructions - well they came with something but they suck - spent more time figuring out what the gold clips were that eventually go top and bottom on the calliper as sort of a brake pad guide.


Right calliper is labelled wrongly (and left one)- so i found out well its not its an actual Ve brake kit so i guess is right however bein an upgrade kit for earlier cars they coulda told me this..



GOOD points ---
They work mint on my standard vp v8 booster and master im very impressed - im still gunna upgrade to the vt spec stuff but yeh

they are silver pefect for custom paintjob
apart from the right left issue they are easy as piss to fit

Good to hear you got it all sorted mate, glad to be of assistance....

Note to everyone, whenever you fit calipers, ALWAYS make sure the bleeder nipple is at the top of the caliper. Even with standard brakes, it's an easy mistake to make!
