While the brand-new brake lapped, but I very much hope that they will be more effective than old brakes.
awesome. I have a 2008 H3 and a 2001 VX. Funny how a lot of people have same taste in cars.Quote:

Finally! Someone is doing something VX's very mediocre brakes! What application did these come from? Did you have any luck finding larger rotors?Quote:

$ 2,000 for the front axle and about $ 2,000 for the rear axle (!)
This brakes from Great Wall Hover, is more effective than stock. it suits me)
you even have same tires as me on H3. :-)Quote:

Not sure if "The Great Wall" brand of vehicles is sold in the USA. Might be too much protectionism for the local manufacturers.

Wow this ride is sick!!!! It makes my VX look like a disgrace lmao. Good motivation to improve. With the cladding painted gloss black to match the body this thing looks like the Porsche Cayenne's meaner, more muscular big brother. Love it! I agree, the dash lights and interior are awesome. So much custom work! I just got a quote for new boat seats but my boat interior is similar sized...two front and a rear bench plus carpet was quoted at $2,500 for basic materials and no fancy stitching. I'm also interested to hear how your new brakes are working! Very original and very useful, I often find myself wishing the brakes were better while pulling the boat. Everyone in Miami is always honking at me when I'm trailering because I'm goin slow and allowing enough distance to stop with the crappy brakes. Keep the updates comin!
It is a Chinese made SUV that isn't sold in US. But it uses lots of Mitsubishi parts and read up that VX is using same spec front brake pads as FWD Eclipse and many other Mitsubishis, so perhaps, I can find a Mitsubishi option?Quote:

I was a little on the fence about getting a VX until I saw THIS thread. I think the bar has been set. What an amazing re-hab. No one has mentioned those cool skull rims too. Very slick! I'd like to ask what was done to the interior door plastic and rear plastic, etc. It all looks like it is painted in a light silver grey or off white. If so do you know what kind of paint was used?
Thank you!Quote:

Somebody in the US got those same rims, maybe about 3 yrs ago or so. I can't recall who, anybody recall?Quote:

I was hoping that you could give a detailed review of your brake upgrade. Do the rotors have to be changed or will the Hover calipers fit the stock Isuzu rotor? What I'm trying to determine is the minimum parts that need to be ordered from overseas suppliers. Are the pads specific for this caliper? This could be a problem if the pads need to be ordered overseas or I would just buy a few sets to have some spares. Do you think this upgrade is worthwhile? How do you like your braking performance now?
Thanks,
Scott

bump. also would like to know about the brakes! amazing looking car you are inspiring me for any upgrades i will do to my VX. I am just about to purchase one!
Pardon me bragging, but I consider my 6-piston JBT brake system (developed by the Russian VXer who also brought us Rotrex supercharger) is way cooler ;)Quote:

Petos, that is pretty awesome brake system! I feel like we need a separate thread to discuss it, without high-jacking this thread (unless I missed such thread?).
Done:Quote:
