Hi everyone, Has anyone currently got VT/VX Calipers and discs on their VLT ? How does it brake and is does the pedal go to the floor or is it like normal VLT ones ? Any differences noticed after the VT upgrade ? Well, The calipers are twin and its huge compared to VLT ones, it must make a difference ! Any experiences would help as I am considering upgrading VLT to VT calipers and discs. Thanks

Yes it is worth it. The pedal goes a little lower (not to the floor though) but you soon get used to it. You notice how the brakes are FAR superior when coming down a hill and wanting to stop, braking from a high speed (80kmp/h +) or in an emergency. You don't notice much of a differece when braking normally though. If you do upgrade get a good set of pads like Ferodo Formula etc PM Chamra1 on this list he sell the kit for a fairly cheap price...
