I've got the VT setup ready to go on just need to get the booster rod modified. I'm going with shims atm but if I ever have to replace rotors i'd definitely be getting a VT-sized rotor that's made to fit the VS hub, I'd recommend that over the shims any day. I think PBR make them.

Ive have the VT setup on for several years now, fantastic on the VS chassis!

VT Calipers
Longer brake lines to suit
VT booster with modded pushrod
VT Master cyl

AND quality brake pads. Excellent budget brake upgrade, and i would never do it differently again.

Did twin piston calipers, with the existing VS master/ booster setup on a mates car... Was full of fail. brake feel was terrible. never again

Im running the 401B rotors so no shims. The way to go IMO.

Are they still available?
Last time I checked my brake supplier could no longer get them.

dba, mr spares (ebay) and another mob, cant recall their name still sell em.

just as a thought.. has anyone tried a VT hub? then you could get away with standard vt rotors and no need for shims. this would be route i'd be taking, if i didnt upgrade to the VS GTS big brakes already.

Haven't tried it, but VT ABS hubs wont work in place of VS ABS hubs (with solid axle), as the tooth count on the sensor ring is different.

Yeah, completely agree with you there Gilbs.
