Here i have as said above a brake upgrade to suit earlier commodores from VS down

I have:

2 x- Front rotors recently machined and ready to go plenty of material on them minimum is 25 mm and they still got about 30 mm after i machined them

2x - Front brake calipers from a VT SS

1x - Brake booster and master from a VT SS

i also have the rear calipers and rotors plenty of thickness on the rotors just got surface rust on em so will need a machine

pretty sure i got brake pads too with about 4-5 mill left on em but i recommend buying new ones dunno if ill find em

DB1344 larger material surface area = more friction = better stopping also last longer (used on police cars ) $150-$190

DB1331 standard about $50- $90

everything should just bolt on between VN and VS may require some part removal like hub backing plate and might be an idea to replace the brake lines with fresh ones(braided) on the front

the master and booster i believe will just bolt straight on but if u got a V8 with a one inch master u wont need it apparently...
v6 etc will defiantly need it as pedal will be extremely low brakes still work good just there isn't allot of pedal feel could probably get away with just swapping the masters over and not the boosters

asking price $150 ONO

yeh, vn-vp run a full hub style rotor with the bearings in it, where the vp s2 -vs are hub separate to rotor, if these where whole hub type I would have taken them :(
the only thing to fear is fear itself.....
