Only the ones with v6 and ABS I think. The KS Verada's definitely do.

i take it these twin pot calipers are better? (obviously) rpw lists them as their brake upgrade. whats the deal with them?

I dont know about RPW's ones..but if you can get a set from a wrecked ABS magna, you just whack them on apparently.
I dont know where RPW sources theirs, but it'll be cheaper if you can find some at a wrecker. I'm thinking of sourcing some from the Diamante's as they use the same hub etc.
Yep, all the v6 has 276mm diameter front rotors so the twins should simply slot on.
The advantage with going to twins is the extract frictional area, just like going to a bigger rotor
and calipers but less expensive.

yeah thats what im saying though. ive already got abs so mine will have the twin pot so no point going an upgrade, as it wouldnt be an upgrade. is this also why i heard the ts brakes are actually better than the third gens?

Yep. The 3rd gens except for the AWD had the same sized discs but single piston calipers.
The rears of the 2nd gens with ABS are also ventilated.

the twin pots also have larger pads, I have a set here to put on mine as soon as I get time
The rears also do have vented disks as well.
My last verada was a strange one however, had all the abs calipers and rear disks with no abs, the car was 2 years old when i got it so it was not fitted after market :)
