Yes, they should all fit eachother. I have APs on my CV8 and the box they came in said 2006 VXR.

the only thing of note is there was some talk of the rear pipes needing modification. Roger or someone else can clear that up. In my case I didn't need anything doing but it might be a different case if you have the small boot cv8

Are they for your ute? I have just ordered bigger brakes for my ute. I might sell the "old" ones-HSV VZ LS2 Maloo. They are the HSV PBR setup, done 28K kilomters (17K miles). OK for normal use but if you want to stop quick from 130+ forget it, get the 362's and six pots.

I've got VXR brakes on my 04 cv8 - easy swap but you do need longer hoses for the rear, around 70 quid iirc for them, better than stock but that wouldnt be hard.

Cant recall whether the LS2 VXR brakes will bolt straight onto a ute, I seem to remember the need to alter or machine a bracket. IIRC

No machining required. Been a while but i think we did the hoses at the rear. Got a Set of Good VXR brakes, freshly skimmed discs and new PF pads all round. Yours for £500.
