At the moment i have to wait and see if it passes the pits my brother had a HT monaro all 1st grade they said it needed mud flaps wat a joke lol.

hey analyze sounds nice, hey tell me what they say about the brakes, cos i was going to do the vt brake thing on my calais, but the pits were not sure it would be legal cos the discs need a hub made( therefore no permit, no insurance). also my insurance might not like it cos the brakes are not from the factory(not made for the vl). good luck anyway

You can use the VS floating hubs. They work fine, and therefore aren't made. But I don't tknow if this is legal. But it is increasing your braking, so I can't see how insurance can fault it...

that what i reckon it is safer to have the upgrade, insurance should like the better brakes.

yeah but sometimes better brakes can brake too good there for locking up easily and maybe causing an accident. well thats what the fat tub of lard at the department told me.
