Going to U-pullit as i have an unexpected day off,was off to get some 288 discs and calipers for my nova.Was wondering what cars these were fitted to and what fits.I know they were on various Vectra's and Omega's but wondered if they fit on Nova's??
Any help is always appreciated:thumb:

Are the meriva 280mm discs a suitable replacement for the 288mm?

Edit: Sorry, slight hijack.

Im sure I saw a nova for sale that had 288mm v6 calipers and it said it was using Lancia delta HF Turbo discs.

Calibra and Cav Turbo calipers with 284mm disks!

So fiat coupe turbo disks, with cal/cav calipers!

Picked a mint set up for £50 at the vboa day!

Its the normal fiat coupe you need discs off, not the turbo version. They have 308mm Brembos

andy most face lifted veccys 2.0 have 288mm discs and pads, earlier ones are V6 only (5 stud is a give away)

meriva/combo 280mm discs are great but you cant fit the matching callipers ive tried

omega callipers are diff to veccy ones and dont fit

Adam

Yep, all 5stud veccys had 288s


Just use meriva discs with cav/cally calipers, should work fine

try to avoid the vectra 288 calipers and find a set of 284 from a cav becasue the piston in the 288 is bigger. using the 284 wont put so much strain on the servo/master cylinder ! thus not causing a sponge pedal feel !

brand new plain 288mm discs (ok 5 stud) from AV are about £20 each....

well i got some off a cdx v6 vectra in the end.
Will be getting some drilled and grooved meriva discs i think as LMF's are a little on the expensive side for an extra 8mm lol

Yeh but iirc there pretty expensive. I bought a set of 288 calipers for £20 and started looking into it. I couldn't justify spending £20 on calipers and I think it was £90 for discs and I didn't want to drill them. I'm a real tight **** I know.
