Upgrades to an 03 'S'

[Zep]

Hey all,
Just purchased some 19" rims for my '03 VY S, and I was thinking of upgrading my brakes too - is this necessary or more just a preference?

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

i have a '03 vy berlina and i assume the brakes are the same.

i would say its just a preferable thing to do as the 19" rims will make the rotors look a bit small.

If your happy with your current brakes then it isnt really worth upgrading them, but if you are unhappy with them then its worth upgrading them. Larger brakes will look better behing those 19" wheels though.

Thanks for the replies guys,
with upgrades what would you suggest? I've seen HSV packages on Ebay but look very expensive..
Cheers!

You could go for a HSV upgrade package but yes they are pricey. Both Harrop and PBR make upgrade kits, I know that the Harrop kits start at $2000 but im not to sure about the PBR kits.

Cheers mate,
I think i'll have to look into something like that. If i remember correctly the HSV one I saw was close to 4k..

Pick up the rims on Monday - hopefully they don't rub! Also i've been asked about two different tyre sizes - 245/35ZR19 93Y or 235/35ZR19 91Y, which would be better suited? I plan on lowering the car too.

Thanks,
Zep
