:roll: That looks like it's been done better than a few others I've seen, who did the machine work for you ??

Can't see why an engineer wouldn't be happy with how they have been done.

These were drilled using a handmade template and a drillpress.

i've never had a problem with them stopping :? including in said monaros except under constant hard breaking, the breaks are identical if you take the cooling factor of the vents out so you can't call them pox other than break fade in abnormal driving conditions and i've had break fade with HQ type discs aswell from hard breaking
and even IF they were "pox" they're still better than drums so that's why people would change

My HG discs work great :D .
At least they have twin piston callipers not single like the HQ type :wink: .

yes rotors definately and callipers i'm 99.99% sure they'll go on, you could use either booster but i think the VH40 ?(i get confused :oops: ) is the correct booster for disc brakes the other is for drums, but i've used them
