Hope someone can let me know, will the later VXR rear discs and calipers fit the later 06 CV8 the discs are bigger on the VXR by about 35mm and wondering if any mods need to be done? I take it that the calipers on the VXR are bigger to accomadate the larger discs? can anyone confirm that it is possible to do.

yes they will fit, not sure about the later cv8's but with the earlier ones (04 big boot) you need slightly longer hoses as the ones on the car will be "tight" reaching the VXR calipers.

Hi,

I have a CV8 which came with VXR discs and calipers all round. So, although I did not do the work myself, I would imagine you will have no problem. However, I would say that the VXR brakes are not great. I believe they are a good upgrade from the CV8 but I am looking to swap mine out for aftermarket APs.

Cheers,
B
