gd galant gh struts and commodore brakes

[turbol200]

has any one put gh struts in a gd galant and used commodore brakes, because i want to do a brake upgrade on the galant and i have VL turbo / VN SS V8 calipers and they worked realy well on my vh, and the galant weighing a lot less i thorght they would work extremly well on this, any one got pics, comments, suggestions or criticism any help would be grate, cheers damo

ive got some VN v6 discs i modified to fit on GH green struts if your interested.

[turbol200]

i am and im not lol how did you mod them, its just i have vl turbo calipers and the rotors for them are the same size as vt ones witch are a lot bigger than v6 ones, what did you have to do to get them to fit ? cheers damo

[astronturbo77]

fair enough thats how i want to go aswell, with vlt rotors and vt calipers. they have been machined properly, i don't do anything half arsed on my cars. The disc have been machined so that the outter wheel bearing cup sits in further and lets the wb nut do up properly on the stub axel. the rear wb seal diameter has been machined out to take a gh wb seal and i have new bearing kits and second hand vp calipers. no caliper brackets though, dad and i figured they are do-able to make up but thats as far as i got.

ok sweet as i was thinking hq hubs with whatever disks to get the right offset mayby falcon or something ??? even if ive got to get the stud patern changed, with vl turbo calipers then vt ones when i get some, id rather a floting hub setup that way i dont have to get disks modded every time i change rotors, what do you think ?????

[astronturbo77]

yep thats why im tyring to sell them haha. i need to hurry up and decide what discs im using then i can weld on my coilover sleeves. have you tried VR onwards hubs?

[turbol200]

iv looked at them for my vh and im sure they have a diff type wheel bearing the one you just tightn right up, hq hubs are the go tho for a floting setup or vl turbo rotors / vn ss v8 rotors if you dont want floting hub setup that is, got to machine the hubs down a bit to fit the disk over tho and there the same stud patern but diff studs . im sure vt rotors with hq hub will be fine thats all you gota do with commodores, iv done it to my vh and dads done it to his vp, with the vt calipers that is.
