well you can get a brake kit from castlemaine rod shop or upgrade your brakes with VS commodore stuff. Allstreet tyres in maddington can do it you just have to supply the rotos and calipers and rear axles and drums along with rims and they will do the rest |

I think the diff conversion is quite involved due to the fact that the torque tube will nolonger fit the vn diff .this means a new tail shaft and new upper trailing arms to replace the job of the torque tube.I am going to take on this sort of diff mod later this year ,I hope it will be worth it. |
