Hey, just wondering what size disc can u use with a set of VT calipers?? Also whereabouts can you get the adapter plates to put the VT's on to a VL??
Thanks

VT calipers take a 296mm X 28mm disc. You can if your real keen make them fit a 330mm rotor but this would take some fabrication for brackets. I have a pair of prototypes for this but they are currently untested.
VT calipers bolt straight up to VL stubs without need for a bracket. You will need 2 hub assy's to hold the disc though as it is a hat style not a hub style....check with your local EBC agent...they should have the hubs seperatly.
DBA040 discs you need too....preferrably slotted.
While your at the EBC guy get some 21505 pads for the calipers and find someone to make you some new hoses for it.....80mm longer than standard and preferrably braided stainless.
You will find the pedal feels "lower and softer" but it will stop much better. Oh and one last trick.....make a stronger bracket from strut tower to master cylinder...cause I bet if you put your foot on the pedal and watch the booster the whole thing moves about an inch...this hurts pedal feel and height.
