VT Conversion would be better.
New calipers, Slotted Rotors, Good pads, hubs, bearings, braided lines with ADR Certification, combined with a 1" Turbo/V8 master cylinder, you should be braking in no time.

Yeah, but volvo calipers are four spots.
And not too expensive too, if you can get the machining done.

yeh vt brakes are really good. I got them on my Vl with Ferrodo brake pads (throw out heaps of dust) but there a good pad. But the brakes are really good, i mean there really isn't a need to go any bigger unless ur into circuit racing or something. I havn't got slotted rotors but problery will once mine are worn out.
By the way if you still have a 14inch spare wheel in your boot i reconmend u buy a 15 inch chaser as with VT brakes u can't get a 14 wheel over the frount, so if u get a flat ur going to be in a bit of trouble.
