Hey guys just looking for a quick answer.

I've got the opportunity to pick up a set of the AP HSV brakes for my VY clubsport. I've got VE GTS replicas and they look like they have plenty of room for clearance.

Just wondering if they will physically bolt up ok etc? Also could I usethe VE rotors or would I have to buy ones for my car?

Any help would be appreciated

The calipers mounting is different. See above... VY have the rear caliper at the rear of the car whereas VE has it mounted at the front... Just my observations...

VE's also use larger wheelstuds, which will be a problem.

The VE pic above is a photoshop, the calipers on a VE sit to the rear on both front and rear caliper.

Sure they will fit, but you will have the same problem VE HSV owners have with wheel slection cause of the caliper. You will use your right on the left and left aon the right. You willl also need to get some dogbones made to allow the adaption.
My original front 320mm rotors and calipers on my VE now reside on my VR ute. I can't tell you about the rears though.
