I don't know if there are any differences,but if you need a pair of VR6 calipers,let me know.

G60 brake rotors are thicker than VR6 brake rotors,G60's seem to have better braking.More thermal dissipation?

Thanks Kris. But... What about the calipers? Are they any different? Reason I ask is because I'm going to be pulling the 11" setup off of my slc and upgrading to 11.3". I want to know if the 11" calipers would sell (Calipers only, rotors are shot). I've heard of the A2 guys upgrading their's to the G60 ones but will the SLC ones work too?
Rycou- Thanks for the offer but already got 'em. btw, looks like sonic got the Walbro fitted. Yours going in soon? http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

got the pump,and will be getting a housing to test on hopefully this weekend. Ladd(Sonic) will be sending me the washers,so I'm hoping within the next few weeks to have it in. Will keep you updated.

They are the same caliper (Girling 54)

Yes, but the offset of the rotors is different. If it were that easy, 5 lug conversions would be ALOT simpler.

Thas correct. It is for that very reason I had to drill G60 rotors for my 5 lug conversion.

5 Lug conversions are much easier now that you can buy pre-drilled rotors.
