hey guys i know this has proberly been asked before, but i fitted vt- calipers to my vlt,and the peddle has slightly ,more travel than standard has anyone else, had this feeling with,their peddle after doing this conversion??( the parts i used were-1 inch vlt brake master, std vlt slotted disks,got a adapter brake hoses from a brake shop-ie vt to vl , 3 mm spacer between caliper mount to strut,new vt bosch pads,use vt caliper bolts, all was a bolt on adaption, what i want to know if their is anything else i should have done???ps- no air is in the brake system,no leaks at all,
Your problem is that your ussing VL Turbo rotors .
They are 22mm thick when new and if they have been machined less then that ,
VT Calipers need 28mm thick rotors or min 25mm rotors for them to work good .
You will need to get the adapter Hubs and use VT Rotors in order for this to work well .
Vl Turbo Rotors are 279x22 mm
VT Rotors are 296x28 mm
In the width they are only 7mm bigger but whats most important is that they are 6mm thicker which is very good for heatsoak ,which is the cause of most of the brake fade in heavy braking .
Sorry for the thread dig but'
So it's possible to run VT calipers on VLT disks the only thing is that the pedal will feel spongy? Is that right? I'd rather just swap the calipers than have to swap disks and hubs as well? Anyone else done this?
