VK Commodore Cup Car rear brake set up

[Lacksballs]

Has any one got a VK Cup Car they can post pictures of the rear brake set up, I believe they use a STD VB-VS front caliper on the rear with RDA/DBA 20 278x20mm (GP A) vented disc???

On paper it looks to be a "cost effective" way to greatly improve the rear brakes without the cost going to of GP A calipers or modifying handbrake for VT rear caliper & rotor setup?

By chance has anyone tried this on a road car with the VT front brake upgrade?

Cheers

There's no such thing as a "VK cup car" there was VK's that raced as cup cars.
I would speak to a few pedders stores on the phone as they used to deal with 6cyl cup cars. They made the suspension and certain stores fitted it so the old guys would know what brakes they were running on the VN/VS style shells which is the ones I remember seeing.
A VN system will work on a VK.
The pedders stores that were fitting the suspension likely know the brake places too as they had to get new cast knuckles for the falcons to homogenize the Falcon vs Holden cup cars.

Could you name a few pedders stores that would be good to ring....I know of 3 in S.A that have no idea about this stuff....It is mainly due to the stores changing staff more reguarly than people changing their jocks, because of how the franchises are run.

Now were are getting into semantics aren't we? a VK that raced as a cup car would be a VK cup car!

Slight deviation...I wonder what class @Smitty VK runs in? I think it has a mixture of late model commodore brake parts....So would be interesting to get his input

Yea they race Falcon and Commodore 6 cyl cars. A lot of young guys race in it as a start to faster cars.
