sounds like a plan. lets us know how she goes and how the offset effects your wheels and guard.

o well the only way 2 know is to drive a vl with vts and and a vlt set up, :( problem i dont know any 1 who owns a vlt, let alone a random let me drive theres, il just go my vt brake ways and u go the turbo ways and lets hope it turns out good 4 us both
and if it dosnt then drink up :drink:

I have a VLT, and put the VT brakes on it and the difference is quite noticable.

Bought the kit from ebay, cost about $530 delivered and fitted them up in about 30 mins.

Also got a wheel alignment done that day also. I am only running 15inch steel rims so I cant say if I notice any offset or not.
