Hey everyone.... I need some help. I went down to the wreckers today cause I heard there was an ex-chaser down there. Unfortunatly the diff was gone with the brakes. but anyway. I was after the front brakes and booster and master cylinder as I only have the standard n/a ones. Is there a difference with the police brakes as they are also equipped with FE2 or are the brakes the same as any VL Turbo. They had these vent thing down the side of them. And is there another brand of brake... eg. willowwood etc. that I can go for that would suit a low 11's car better than these would or should I grab them... $70 bucks he wanted ??? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Get a VT/VX Twin piston brake kit . The rotors are 300mm and you get twin piston as aposed to one on the vl . I have kits to suit your car for $400 standard 300mm rotors . or $500 with slotted and cross drilled rotors . I'm in Melbourne ,but I can freight australia wide

Thats for the front only . There is no twin piston rear brakes , Even VTs didn't have rear twin pistons . Ring around and see how much more these kits are selling for in the shops . I have even seen the hubs alone selling for $350+ . check out www.Hoppers.com.au and see all the info about them .

FLWLSS I can vouch for this guy and his brakes. i have purchased some and allthough i havnt fit them yet i can tell just by looking at them how much bigger and tougher these things look.I think they have about 30mm on diameter over the stock discs, and callipers are quite huge indeed. Hey chamrai picked up brakes yesterday thanks again mate. Tim
