Thats why i wanted to try a commodore diff, as a 9 inch would be a bit overkill for the six

Also a lot more weight in a 9 inch diff,a b/w behind a 6 cyl hg has to be 10 times stronger than banjo diff.
if it ain't broke we can improve it.

If u go the b/w way a vl diff may be correct width which will give u commodore stud pattern at rear and for front if u get undrilled rotors for your model and have them drilled to suit commodore rim
your problem is solved easily.

Depends on who you go through man.... I picked up a set of undrilled for my UC for 156bucks the pair!! But thats through a friend who has contacts *Taps on his nose*!! You'd probably get change from $250 for a pair...

You may want to consider ftting HQ type disc rotors and calipers,they are a better rotor(vented)also easier to get undrilled,the HG type rotor is seperate to hub,so hub would still have to be modified to suit stud pattern.

Bucket seats with headrests for sure vr/vs or maybe even hz/wb type may be easier to fit,I think that would be about all that would fit out of vr/vs
if it ain't broke we can improve it.
