hey guys noob question here, want to upgrade front brakes on the calais and i was just wondering what is involved in fitting VT calipers and rotors. Do the vt calipers bolt straight on? I know i need adaptor hubs for the rotors and differant brake lines.

Would it fit a vl? I guess what I want to know is do the calipers bolt straight on or do they need a plate? And do they just use standard vt rotors?

You would need front hub adapters and different brake lines from memory

How ****ing lazy are you? Ive done a searh of the suspension and brake tech section and couldn't find an exact answer, everyone just refers to getting a kit but I'm a tight arse and don't want to fork out 700 bucks for one. So yes I guess I am ****ing lazy mate lol. If you could point me in the direction of a thread that has what i want to know in it, it would be much appreciated.

hahah, 5spdvl that's gold.... Jetrider, check out the "How to adapt the VT Master Cylinder to early model Commodores" thread in the tech section. It is not just about the rotors/calipers, but should help expand your knowledge a bit. I had a good read through in the past and plan on doing something with mine in the future following the advice in that thread.
