VF SSV brake upgrade - offset problem

[sorryijustworkhere]

afternoon,

I've searched far and wide for some better brakes to fit my ssv - it's not the redline model and the stock brakes aren't great.

I haven't found anything that will fit under the stock wheels - I'm happy to spend the ~3k on brakes but don't want to spend the same or more again on wheels.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Buy some used Redline wheels?

I don't want to change the wheels

Ok. Then maybe go T3 rotors, braided lines and ceramic pads. Maybe a hi perf brake fluid? It will be a gpod improvement over your stock setup. Calipers will still limit clamping force though.
Or buy the parts from Holden for their $350 brake upgrade.

I called a dealer who told me that because it's a factory option, they won't sell it! Anyone know of a dealer who will?

Nah the police upgrade is not brembos. It's just a single piston setup, only marginally better than stock

Harrop Monoblocs should fit, they were designed to fit factory wheels, but are very expensive...

This..... DBA top range rotors, braided lines and QFM A1R1 pads worked a treat on my Calais. Ceramic maybe next time.

Just so you're aware (and it seems you probably are), the single-piston "police upgrade" is the $350 option that dealers won't sell separately. So you wouldn't really want that anyway.
