1.1 and VTS brakes

[Karl]

theyre not the same; surely!?

size? calliper wise?

[Quick]

Nope, Nope & Nope.

Vts are bigger, vented and ABS'd!

[Karl]

the brakes arent ABS'd, the driveshafts are.

what size are 1.1 and what size are VTS?

[Noddy]

I presume this question has arisen from my thoughts in your other thread ???

Should really check these things myself :oops:

If anyone can list up the differences then it would be mucho appreciated :y:

[Quick]

the brakes arent ABS'd, the driveshafts are.

what size are 1.1 and what size are VTS?

ABS stands for anti-lock braking system - not anti-lock drive shafts!

The ABS sensors read rings on the shafts, and the calipers are released when lock is detected!

[Noddy]

So you wouldn't be able to put the VTS brakes setup on a 1.1 due to lack of ABS?

[Karl]

agreed Quick, but theres nothing on the calliper which I can see has anything to do with ABS? :S

[Karl]

So you wouldn't be able to put the VTS brakes setup on a 1.1 due to lack of ABS?

course you can! you can put gti 6 brakes on a VTR/Furio/1.1 and gti6s have ABS.

[Noddy]

That would be very true... I'm having a retard moment :(

[Quick]

Just fit the whole set up from a Vtr, same size setup, no ABS to worry about, so that you can fit the master cyclider from it as the same time!

[Karl]

Quick,
you could fit my callipers to a 1.1, theres no wiring or anything,
its literally bolt onto the car, connect brake hosing. Bang, VTS brakes on a 1.1

[Noddy]

I suppose that would be a better option. how much of an improvement would I be looking at if I was to do this?

[Quick]

I read Vts set up as the full monty - Fronts, rears & ABS!!

Yes, the 4 stud setups are interchangeable!

But you'd need discs as well as calipers!

[Karl]

tbh Noddy buy my VTS brakes for your 1.1 then.
discs, pads, callipers, carriers.
gogo.

[Noddy]

How much of an improvement would I see in the change of setup?
'Cos I'd be going from 247mm to 247mm???

[Noddy]

anyone... ?

[craig180]

Thought they were the same discs and callipers tbh.

[Karl]

if thats true, thats fecking shocking!

Looks as though the 1.1 are solid then, not sure about caliper size now.

Not much help I know. Sorry:oops:

bollocks can't get the link to work!

[Karl]

S'alright mate.
least you tried :P

[willsy]

1.0 and 1.1 disks are smaller

the above is 238mm disks and VTR/VTS disks are 247mm.

Pretty certain the VTR/S caliper is bigger than the 1.0 and 1.1 caliper. cant recall if theres a 'spacer'/enlarged carrier aswel to allow the larger disk.

Ryan or WilliamsVTS would be the best to clarify anything brake wise IMO

[Steve]

247mm with vented disccs,

[Noddy]

So basically, I've made myself a good purchase :y:
