Vf hsv 4 pot callipers onto a Ve ssv

[Frosty005]

Hi , just seeing if anyone can tell me what the standard front and rear disc size are on a ve ssv in diameter (not redline) ….and and how many piston the front and back callipers are ?
Has anyone changed there VE to VF HSV 4 piston callipers front and back with the 367 diameter discs ? If so Is there a noticeable difference?
or has anyone just upgraded the (front only) with the redline brembos ….if so was that a noticeable difference with better stopping power ? I am liking the the idea and look of the Vf HSV brakes all round but also like the look of deep dish rims that I can only fit on if I left the back and just went brembos on the front ….I’m torn what up do ?

I put Brembo brakes on the back and front of a VE SS Ute. However they were not off a VF. I don't know if there is any difference between VE and VF Brembo's or why there would be. From memory the rotors were 355mm. The rear rotors may have been bigger. They certainly do make a big difference. As 75% of the braking is done by the front brakes fitting just the fronts is well worth while. Remember to make sure your wheels clear the callipers. Some 18" wheels will clear, not all 19" or above will clear. It's all to do with the offsets. Getting better pads will also make a big difference. I have ceramic pads on the front of my Redline. I have some Brembo's in my garage for the rear that I haven't bothered to fit because the braking is that good.

I went a different route as I put CTS V brembos on my ve SSV, basically plug and play

They're ridiculously cheap too!

I bought mine off amazon, but there are quite a few ebay listings.
I just followed this guide https://forums.justcommodores.com.a...adillac-cts-v-v2-6-pot-brembo-upgrade.253375/ (mine are 6 piston front and stock rear)
