Probably not as good as the C5 caliper, but still a big improvement on BF brakes and helpful to all those people who don't want to buy new wheels. I'd probably buy a kit like this if you could get it together for a reasonable price :-)
A couple of problems with the VE caliper is that they do take a 30mm disc and will not fit over a 32mm disc because the cradle itself is not designed for that width and to have enough clearance and the only way to get thinner pads is to mill them down plus the caliper itself is not designed to fit a rotor radius of 355mm sorry.
