Spent my lunch hour today fitting up my Vectra V6 calipers and four stud discs.
Taking care to bed them in properly but I can allready tell they are a massive imporvement on the standard ones.

Big thanks to David (NotNormal) at V-tuning for sorting them out, would quite happily reccomend them to anybody. Kit was spot on everything fitted perfectly. All I had to do was re balance my front wheels with the outer wheel weights further inboard as they were fouling on the caliper but that was no big deal.

Very happy chappie indeed.

From those pics everything seems very clean. Its not every day that you can actually see the yellow on yellow shocks!!

HOOJ!

that looks a tight fit!

cars coming on a treat m8

[jatinder]

how much were they and what wheel size do you have

[techie]

Ive got 15" wheels which is the mininum.

The complete kit which is brand new calipers, mountings, discs costs ?200.

They look sweet m8!!! I've got 2.0 16v calipers with black diamond drilled n groved discs with Green stuff pads and i can almost stoppie my car on hard braking so god knows what these monsers would do!!!!!

Your is really coming together now m8, looks the mutz!!!!

Is this conversion worth changing to from 2L 16v discs and calipers?

Unless youve got money burning a hole in you pocket or large alloy wheels that you want to fill i'd probably say no. They are nearly on the limit of over braking a GSi (im sure if you were running a LET it might be a good idea). Having said that they are awesome. They are starting to really bed in now and the pedal feels pretty good.

fcuk that looks a tight fit!

fill the wheels properly!

lol wait til u see my new brakes ;) sold the v6 ones muahaha

[MattyWoo]

I saw them today. they do look meaty as fuck but i dont think the gap between the wheel and caliper is much of a prob really seein it in the flesh theres quite a gap.

please can ih ave more information regarding this ?200 kit, as i guess ill need to spend at least ?100 on 2ltr 16v disks and pads? so may aswell get these :twisted:
