uprating brakes

[Killeybh]

ive got a 1.1 which i want to uprate to vtr brakes. mainly for the vented discs. can i just buy some vtr discs and fit them or do i need a new caliper? will a 1.1 caliper fit vtr discs? cheers

you need calipers, carriers and pads and discs from a vtr.
the calipers are bigger to accomadate the larger/ wider discs.

you'd need vtr calipers...

due to the vented disc being about 15mm wider

kk are they easy to fit on a 1.1?

[johnnyg_vts]

yeah bolt right on, might need a mate to help you bleed them but its a easy job mate.

2 bolts on the caliper to strut

2 torx bolts/screws for the disc
