So long as the dropped stubs are drilled for commodore calipers. The bearings fit no problem, but calipers will not bolt up to HR pattern or HQ pattern calipers bolt holes

Fred

VR rotors are a push fit over a hub that contains a sealed double race roller bearing.

You will need VN/VP rotors to fit on the CRS stubs. Keep in mind there are two sizes for front rotors depending on whether you are fitting V6 or V8 engine.

The V8 rotors from memory are 290mm in diameter.

Hope this helps

Regards

I've been out of this for too long - my memory is completely going Undecided
The VR was the first to use the sealed bearing - as stated they no longer use the old A and B bearings.

Sorry for misleading you
