Hey there, I purchased new DBA slotted front brakes to upgrade the vl (she still runs N/A gear) and the calipers are too small for the disks...i was under the assumption that turbo calipers and calais ones were the the same?? just need some info on this...Thanks

youll need to get yourself a pair of vl turbo calipers, i think they also share the same part number as vn 5litre front brakes. Also make sure your running 15's + or your wheels will hit the calipers

If you have calipers like this: http://www.oldholdens.com/temp/commo...a/R0017126.JPG (http://www.oldholdens.com/temp/commodorebrakesontorana/R0017126.JPG) then they are the wrong ones for the 270mm NA brakes.

VL NA discs are 270mm in diameter, VLT/VL V8 are 289mm.
