Hi anyone know if you can use ht v8 rotors ( 15 .9mm width v6 are 11 i think)
on hq stub axels with hq PBR cast iron calipers
reason being i already have the hq stubs and calipers but want to keep the old holden bolt pattern
and ht rotors would do that .
any one done this combo

Pretty sure HG and HQ stubs are the same so I cant imagine them being a problem.
You can buy blank HQ rotors and have them drilled to suit early stud pattern which is the way I would go - HQ brakes are miles better than HG

If you use HT discs the HQ calipers won't work.
Why not get some Torana discs and calipers, pretty sure they ( calipers) are the same as HQ and you keep the old stud pattern.

Or 4 cylinder Commodore rotors, but they are getting pretty hard to find nowadays .....

Not sure if the Q stubs work with the Torana discs (there is a slight difference), I used the whole setup from the Torana LH.

Wouldn't think LX would be too different to LH, I don't know I only used the one set.
I used the HR steering arms.

usually torana stubs will make it difficult to wheel align different camber angle on the stubs and i'm pretty sure if you get ones off a torana that had radial tuned suspension it's even worse
