Vb brake upgrade please help

[Darren_L]

VT brakes should fit under 15's (standard VT's were fitted with 15 inch wheels) and VE will fit under 16's (standard VE is fitted with 16's)
you will need a caliper adapter kit and hub to fit either VT or VE brakes, will also need the brake hoses for either.
However the difference with VE brakes is, you don't need to change the booster & master cylinder. Whereas VT you really need to or you end up with a long pedal.

The VE upgrade doesn't fit with 16", been there, tried that. Although I was told it will, it doesn't, minimum of 17" for the VE brakes with 289mm rotors.

I do the VE upgrade for $795 for the VB, comes with rotors, calipers, pads, brake lines, fluid and mounting hardware.

it could also depend on your wheel design. I know my VN Grp A/SV5000 330mm twin spot calipers make it under 16 inch SV5000 wheels and just fit under my 16 inch Walkinshaw wheels (had to move the wheel weights), but I know another guy who couldn't fit the same brakes under his 16's
