Hey just wanting to know if VF2 SSV Redline brembos front and rear will fit a wn2 caprice?

And will they fit with the factory wheels for the caprice? Edit: this is for offset and clearance not wheel size I know I need at least 19 which factory wn2 are.

And is it worth upgrading to the redline brake booster?

I’ve asked this in Facebook pages and haven’t gotten a straight answer. Only given information about vf1 silver brembos. Or that caddilac brakes fit but no one managed to actually answer the question I put forward. So I am asking here.

The only thing I do know is that the red Brembos are the same as the silver ones; in case that helps.

I’d be slightly surprised if the fronts clear the calipers.

Hi.
I own a Redline and I know that you need 19 inch rims as a minimum to clear the calipers.

The factory caprice size is 19 so I’ve got that it’s more clearance and offset.

I fitted bembos to a ve ss. They are a bolt on. You however will have to cut the dust shields to fit the larger rotors. I did not change the brake booster. It is unlikely the factory wheels will fit, it's not the wheel size that is the problem but the offset. Cadillac calipers are the same. i used 18 inch wheels.

Isn’t there a size difference between front and rear

Yeah I meant offset not wheel size

You don't need 19 inch wheels, 18 inch will fit provided the offset is right The offset required is 48 mm. Even with 19 inch they will not fit without the correct offset.

Looks like offset is 48. From what I can see online
