Those old Nissan ones work very well 4/2 piston combo

[vlad01]

but vt-vz stuff doesn't really fit the rear, whole point of the discussion to find alternatives. Front is no issue though.

[Dylan]

Run Nissan all round with the 2 piston rear on the HSV rear rotor? And the 4 piston front on the front HSV front rotor?

[vlad01]

prefer not too, don't like jap car stuff on my cars lol.

I've had enough of nissan lately lol.

Whats the min wheel size for them?

I have a whole bunch of R31 rear calipers, all no good really. I kept them for spares for the VN-VS rears as the brackets, pins and boots are the same part.

[Dylan]

I know they clear 20's lol

[vlad01]

stuff that! I worked very hard to find a set of 16" walkys and I aint changing them! even 16" wheels look big to me. 15" ftw!

[Dylan]

17 might be ok on a 330mm rotor they are quite a slim caliper.

[vlad01]

I worked out the VL-VS finned front calipers are the same front ones as the 1984-1987 C4 corvette just as a useless fact.

Most of the HSV upgrades are corvette as they were made by pbr here in aus so it was easy to source

[vlad01]

too bad this particular rear caliper isn't easy though.

Not new anyway. I wonder if its worth asking PBR here if they sell them new? about 4 years ago I was able to buy brand new finned front calipers.
