I’d talk to whichever Engineer you’ll use to certify it first to make sure it can pass OK.

2 issues -
needs engineering certification if going on a HZ
and
will not fit HZs (or anything) with rear drum brakes if I read the Lowe website page correctly

Thanks Smitty,I cant see where it says on the website it doesnt work with rear drums. I was thinking an djustable brake proportioning valve inline with the rear brake line to manually dial down the rear brake pressure might work

I think the VT cylinder works OK on drums. Its what my HK has, it has BA-FG calipers and rotors on the front and standard HQ rear drum brakes. It uses a standard HG booster though, it is better than a VT one. Just has a cylinder adapter to make it work. Will be certified along with the rest of the car. Has to have braking tests done.
