Hey folks,

finally got around to fitting up the new brakes to my VS ute, I managed to get my hands on a set of VT twin pots curtousy of a fellow member ( peter b) and painted them up! I have now put them on the old girl and have already noticed a fair bit of difference in the braking ability of the ute!

Here are some before and after shots

Good stuff, dont forget to do your master cylinder as well, they'll be even better again.

The vt to vs master has a different pin height by 10mm from memory you don't have to change the master on vs always fit decent pads to notice a big diff

Not sure on the different pin height stockergts and or any further modifications that are needed to fit it up but when mine was changed (on a VS series 3 statesman) it definitely made a noticeable difference in the stopping power over the std VS one with the disc/caliper upgrade alone. Either way, it's going to be better than factory.

VS has a quick fill master. Doing the VT booster upgrade will have more of a difference to bring better pedal feel
