Fitted them up to the car on the weekend, all went very smoothly. I just need to bleed them now and then take them for a test drive. Once I put the wheels back on I will put some pics up of them behind the wheels in actual day light. FRONTS REARS Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pulled the old girl out to give her a bath and get all the dust off it before the cover goes on for the winter now the rego has run out. Took a few quick pics before it rained and took a few close ups of the new stoppers... pretty happy with how they look on the car! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Car looks great well done VLCT88. Mate can I ask which site you got the brake kit from and what is the part number of them to fit the VL? Did you need adaptor hubs or anything else? ---------- Post added 03-05-14 at 17:44 ---------- Car looks great well done VLCT88.

I imported the brakes from the US as the front and rear kits were to suit the Pontiac GTO (CV8 Monaro exports). So basically all you need to bolt them up is the same mods as to fit the VT-VZ brakes to the VL. Front hub adaptors and get the rear hub caliper mounting points and handbrake shoes modified to suit the newer model rear brake calipers
