I have VT brakes on my VL, they are so much better it is not funny.

 

[bangers]

better than standard vl brakes, well i hope so. i just said they weren't necessary. vl turbo brakes are more than enough to pull up a n/a vl. People only put vt brakes on because they can. I'd go the VT's as well if i had a bullsh*t hot turbo that was pumping out 600 horsepower plus. But then again maybe not, the difference in disc size is tiny and you put twinspot PBR calipers on and they really are just as good.

How much are the twinspot PBR calipers?

 

[bangers]

hey bex. from memory they are 180 including pads. don't quote me on that. just call repco.

i stopd at repco 2day and askd and was tolld 179 EACH just the caliper NO PADS or new hose thats for the standerad vl brakes new, and the dude said vl turbos calipers are the same just finied. i thought they were twin spot, if there not twin spot i will b usiing the vt brakes i have got coz it would work out cheaper

vt>vl hubs 250bucks new
pair of front vl turbo calipers 360 bucks
new pipes for brakes 45 bucks each
then some discs 100+bucks each

so looks like the vts will go on eventully

Yes STANDARD turbo calipers are finned. The PBR are twinspot. You shouldn't need hoses. And the repco up the road does them as a kit with Ferozo pads. And you don't have to worry about new hubs and bearings. And the different offset. I was off with the price, sorry, i was half right at 180. just each not the pair.

Plus the PBR fit standard VLT pads.
