While we're on the subject of brakes, is there much information around on
the Verada vented disks/VL Turbo callipers? I haven't been able to find
much on websites/archives.
Since my disks need replacing, I was going to weigh up the cost of other
upgrades. I'm currently running 240K GT struts at the front, with twin
spot Sumitomos. Most verada/VL conversions seem to use 180/200B struts -
can it be done on 240K? ...and what extra machining/custum brackets are
required to fit the disks/callipers.
Thanks,
Diarmuid Tyson
