commodore brake conversion GD coupe

[astronturbo77]

hi guys, i have been wondering aout doing a commodore brake conversion using gh sigma struts. a while back i was chatting to a bloke with a hemi pwrd sigma, He was saying that comodore VR/VS? disc rotors go onto sigma struts as the wheel bearings are the same and then you have to slot one hole in the caliper bracket for it to bolt on. I wish i could remember what model commodore he was talking about, it is the one with out the slip off disc rotors, either VN or VR. Can anyone help me with this is it correst or not? I can get VS discs and calipers for nothing but im unsure if the discs have the wheel bearing as part of them or not? and are they single piston calipers?

VT commy calipers are dual piston, is there any way of using these with VS discs?

havnt seen it done but the vs rotors dont have a wheelbearing its seperate and vt calipers cant be used with vs rotors as they are too thin but vt rotors go onto vs hubs.most of the early rotors are the same except for bt1 and some vp-vr's

mate you can buy the kit that just bolts them straight on
that would be the easy way and already engineered with papers
cheers stealth

COBWBS: you mean with VN/p rotors and what about the caliper brackets? if you can get me some more info that would be good.

Hi there. I have a GE Sigma/Galant which came with 13" rims and those piddly square pads and single spot calipers. I ripped the struts (discs, calipers, stub axles, bearings attached) out of a GH and swapped them straight in. It moves me up to those C shaped pads of the early Commodores. Hope that's useful.

I hope he knows he is up for bigger wheels and rubbers. I'll stick with my 13 inches.

Isn't it obvious? If your using commo brakes/studs you would need the GM rims anyway.

I'd rather put drums on the front of my car than run big discs. Wheels bigger than 14"s is just showing off, and ugly.

Im running 15+4 inch crappadoor interceptors..

Im putting drums on the back as i herd u can get ones that self adjust for less maintenance coz my trolly jack is broken and im borrowing my next door neighbours and might not get it again this month..
