VF SSV Redline Brembos fit WN2 Caprice?

[Jeda]

I am sure that you are aware of changing the roses as they are bigger.
And from memory you might need to change the master cylinder as the bore is slightly bigger.

You don't need to change the mc, but bigger is better.
From memory it's 25mm v 27mm?

Yeah knew there was something else

Yes. That is correct.

Fitting rear brembos is mainly for looks. They do make a difference but it is marginal. Ceramic pads make a difference.

Yeah but if I doing it I am doing front and rear as that’s the look I want.

I'm told that the wn2 wheels will clear the vf2 redline brembo calipers.

I can tell you for certain that wn1 wheels don't.

I understood it was only redline wheels that fitted in the holden range however finding out the offset of wh2 will clarify the situation.

I don't know how far you are willing to go and how deep your pockets are.
But I am the kind of person that is kind of fussy and I believe to do things once and get it right.

It’s 45 from what I can find online.

Maybe find a friendly Redline owner and ask them if you can trial fit one of your Caprice wheels to their car to see if they clear the calipers? (But don’t scratch their calipers, or they’ll become an unfriendly Redline owner!).

Yeah I’d be looking at like $5k probably if I buy them new. Maybe a little less for wreckers ones.

There’s plenty of redline owners near me but plenty of rude ones. That reckon they own a GTSR. If you catch my gist. So that’s probably a stretch.
