Anyone done the VT commodore onto HQ upgrade, been told it's quite common. It's for my sister's car. Have the calipers and can source rotors through my parts guy just need to know where to get hubs and caliper adaptor to suit.
Any help would be tops.

Won't work easily
The calipers are shite
The bolt up pattern doesn't lend itself to bolting to the stubs easily
Thats why Hoppers uses the AU2 caliper
I doubt anyone makes a caliper bracket that will work... never seen one... and if they did... unlikely they would sell it separately as they like to sell complete kits

i think you may get it to bolt up its just the caliper clearance that may be a problem ?
you could use a caliper mount for drum stubs mentioned in this thread http://www.gmh-toran...akes-on-a-tory/
and instead of the rotors use the hubs from a vb/vp to vt commodore rotor upgrade kit ?

Here is an option from McDonald Bros, looks good to me but I haven't tried it yet. Will soon be trying this caller on my LX with a different disc
