Standard Brakes on the VE SS are average, especially with a VCM 7 cam, so purchased these off ebay and gumtree
fronts Brembos and VE HSV rears, will be painted of course to match the car

How much did you get the wheels for? I reckon that's what I want!

Have had the brakes custom painted to voodoo blue to match the car. The Brembo Logo on the front caliper has been painted on, looks better than a sticker. Im leaving the rear brakes just Voodoo.

Been a while but had brakes fitted last week, VE BREMBO Fronts and VE 4 Spot HSV rears, pretty simple swap, the rear dust shield had to be trimmed for the bigger rotar , however since being fitted there is abit of squeal when pulling up at low speed and noticed today after a 250km trip and some hard stops, there was very strong burnt smell emitting from the car, assuming the brakes so need to get checked out.
Next week im getting gloss black track stripes put on by a sign shop, which will be abit longer down the bonnet, thinking of maybe change wheels to something with concave
