dont use fiat discs its a bodge. u have to space the caliper out with washers and the pcd is actually 98mm not 100mm

speak to chris astley he sells 4stud 288mm discs for £45 new

You dont have to space anything out :confused:
You make one/two holes a mil or two bigger to make them 100pcd.
Its less of a "bodge" than re-drilling discs IMO

Most "4stud 288" discs are actually Fiat Coupe discs anyway ;)

Yep, exactly why I went for Fiat discs. Mine didn't need spacing at all either.

i had to moddfy the caliper saddle as the discs are wider but took 5 mins much less of a bodge then redrill five studs items etc

but if chris astley sell them for 45 quid is that a pair then id get them prob similar price to the fiat items

I'd rather redrill discs.

cheers everyone ill speak to Chris tommorow and see what he says!!!! its seems easy to re drill vectra discsas ive seen a diagram but the fiat discs conversion seems easy so ill see what the man says tommorow

[sparkie1401]

either way which caliper is best ???

late spec vectra V6

or Cav V6/calibra Turbo?

i have the later spec vectra V6 ones, is the larger slave cylinder a big issue?

[Benn]

It can be on stop novas.

[Adam]

The early type calibra turbo calipers are the best.
Smaller piston=better pedal feel

As others have said the Fiat discs are piece of piss to fit, and much safer than the cheese grater effect vectra discs.
