Re: FX Holden Race Car Project
Neither am I, VE conversions seem all the rage these days. but when I try searching for them....what VE conversion kits? only thing I see it VT.
by the way the VN-VS rear lug centers are 97mm. I measured them before.

Go with the old Corvette setup. Previously on my VR I ran Corvette C5 fronts on 343X32 rotors and 315X18 rears with the HSV caliper's (same caliper different slide bracket) with VT master and booster and braided lines, man that stopped well. The C5's run a heavier housing and slightly smaller pistons compared to the VT style they had a problem with the caliper body flexing.

Re: FX Holden Race Car Project
My mate has the VE rear upgrade on his VR but as mentioned earlier is limited to 16" + rim sizes. He spends a lot of time at the drag strip but struggled to find drag radials to suit his 16" rims.

Re: Vlads Braking Thread Hijack
anyhow, I've been looking at wilwood calipers and looks like they don't do any calipers with dust boots anymore but one model.
I recall they had the dust boot option on 80% of their range some 6 years last I looked properly. The ones they have with boots have pretty big piston area over anything holden use so you'd need to make the front brakes real big or use a proportioning valve.... geez this is getting out of hand lol. Stupid obsolete Australian crap.
