Stock VT yes 315mm need 16".

Or get some corvette calipers and fit the brackets I have and run the HSV rear rotor with the rest of the VT gear.

Stock VT is still a solid rotor.

Yes but VS HSV is 20mm vented and 280mm diameter. Those corvette calipers will fit that VS rotor and are finned. 315mm VT is vented rotor but the diameter wont clear 15's and then handbrake differences can snowball

Thats annoying none of the corvette calipers on ebay come with brackets.

Yeah so going the VS GTS style vented rotor and matching caliper would be the best route me thinks and would suit my VS Senator too.

other alternative is adapt some other calipers. The VT ones have a disk of 16-18mm and the group A is 20mm so even if you used a VT calipers adapted they might not fit on.

I emailed the mob in the first link I posted to see what they say about the corvette C5 calipers. They look like they would adapt better and they are pretty cheap and available new.
