nice work mate, recently put the BCs in the front of mine, too. One thing worth noting is that going back to a vl front rotor, you are actually going to lose around 5-6mm of brake pad contact. If you compare the rotor size to the vt rotors that suit the adaptor hubs on your orig struts. They are larger in diameter. (296mm and VL are 290mm from memory) So the VT calliper sits out further to accommodate this, so with the smaller vl rotor, you aren't going to have full pad surface area contact with the rotor. Not the end of the world, and plenty of people run them like that, but you won't be getting the full benefit from the VT upgrade.

Just a question about your Walky Wheels? Are they a different wheel stud pattern/size for the rear as to the front. As i want to run them on my VK, it has VL turbo rear brakes and VT-VZ front brakes like yours. Cheers. Been loving the content lately guys. Keep it up🤘

Same stud pattern. I thought stud pattern changed at VE? Apparently the 20 inch rims are x 8.5", although a 245 tyre sits flush and a 225 tyre is stretched. I think they might actually 9.5".

@@VL_Life Thanks🙌

Hi mate, did the coilovers for the front have to be welded on the stub axle??

[@anthonywhelan8373]

Also that master cylinder brace it looks like the original thin steel one replacement one from lowes fab alloy is a lot thicker and reduces the flex from pushing on the pedal hard

[@MrLes82]

Hey mate, just wondering what you did with front sway bar?

[@anthonywhelan8373]

Vl strut tops do only go one way so camber can be set properly even though they can be put in multiple ways

[@Finger_Blasterr]

Will you be chucking a turbo on the big LS ??

[@VL_Life]

It would be nice. Turbo or a blower.

I notice your still running rubber brake lines Replacing them with braided lines all round improves the pedal feel immensely with vt brake upgrade Also make sure you have a 1 inch master cylinder not the 7/8 one
