simple awnser is NO

they would fit onto the hub but the caliper will not bolt on as the VS disk is smaller and the vy is much larger

im guessing you have a spare set of vs ones lying around??

Thanks for the quick responce jas. Yeah i got a VS off a mate in pretty **** nick
but the pads and rotors are nearly new! So are you saying i can just do a switcheroo
with the pads and rotors? VY to VS and VS to VY??
Also will this reduce my braking performance on my VY? If so im prob best just buying new
VY rotors??
Cheers
Pedro

He said no, as I would state the same info, non transferable.

Jas98 is right and wrong.
The main answer is still NO but the VS rotor wont even fit on the hub as the VT-VZ hub is 71.5mm and the VR-VS hub is only 70mm.
When retrofitting VT-VZ discs on to VR-VS you need hub rings (look like thin egg rings).

Just swap the VS hubs across - problem solved! (I have seen it done. Someone with a VR or VS rented a VT and swapped everything across for a brake conversion at the cost of a day's car rental fee. No way to tell which renter it was by the time it was picked up on.)

put smaller brakes on a heavier car... genius right there
