Yes hq stubs will fit & vb-vn discs fit as well due to having the same wheel bearing size.With most calipers you will have to make adapters & probably get brake hoses made up unless you buy a kit.Not sure but I think 06RIP put up a thread on his conversion with pics.

I'd be interested in pics and the mods to the calipers to make them bolt up.

Lots of photos here

Thats a link to my photo bucket. Didnt modify callipers just got hadfield stubs and brackets and bolted away. Nothing overly exotic but one of the best things i did to the car in my opinion

CRS stubs are around the $600 mark these days. All up you wouldn't have had much change from $1000, would you?

They were modified drum stub axles chopper. I believe hoppers use the disc stub though?
I guess the good thing about the Hadfield stuff is that you get the paperwork saying its pre approved as long as its installed right. I bought his stuff for this exact reason, i didnt want to get to rego time and have to redo things.

The front camber isnt quite perfect yet cause i need to lower the top arm mounts to give the upper arm more room to move in. The pipes are to close at the moment. Has anyone got a pic of where the lower mounts need to be drilled?
