Dont bother with vlt brakes, do teh vt master and vs booster mod, theres a sticky somewhere and do the vt upgrade on teh front brakes i picke dup mine for $450 and put a disk rear diff into it.

so would stock vlt calipers with slotted rotors, vt master and vs booster be a good upgrade for stock na brakes?

Yep, ^^that should be fine, the VT master + VS booster alone is pretty good. Would be better if you could spend a few extra $$ the VT calipers + discs for the front. And VL discs on the rear too.

vt conversion is 300 extra for the hub conversion parts just wondering if the extra 300 is worth it, plus i got the calipers for nothing and i already have rear discs.

Pretty sure thats illegal anyway, VLT's didn't come out with the smaller N/A brakes therefore un-roadworthy and if caught out by insurance well... you might be up **** creek.

bro. just get ur self 290mm slotted rotors.. ADB brand is around $100 each. New pads to go with the new rotors and any vlt callipers.. i think vp and vn ones are the same... and a vt master and vs booster.. it will cost you around $300- $350 and it looks gud behind rims and it gives you more stopping power.. thats what im doing

agreed'd do the vt master & vs booster, buy the adapters(master to booster and brake line adapters) from sydney brakes i think or hoppers stoppers not sure which or if both carry em. i think it was $30-$40 all up with postage. and ofcourse go vlt discs and calipers(finned). vn - vp finned calipers are the same as vlt(maybe vr/vs).
