I've never seen it done, but it might be possible to adapt the disk and caliper. If I were you I wouldn't bother you won't notice any improvment on a street car. The weight distrobution of a Vl 6 is about 68% front, 32% rear and 70% f, 30% r turbo. When you brake more weight is transferred to the frount again, so the back brakes only end up doing about 10%-20% at most depent apon you weight distrobution and suspension setup. That to and a Vl is a hell of alot lighter than a HSV VX so the backs would lock up pretty easy. I just run stand brakes with slotted rotors and performax pads (ultimates are good as well) and synthetic brake fuild and they have **** load more stopping power than I will ever require on the rear. If you you look at all the really hot 10 second street/strip cars 90% are running standard brakes on the rear. Your best spending the money on the fronts say some 4 or 6 pot calipers a big arse disks to match.
