4 stud 288mm discs

[novacabrio]

What would people recomend? Looking on LMF and I don't fancy paying over £200 for a set of discs!! Thats verging on criminal prices!

[NOVA saloon]

V6 calipers and meriva discs was a thing on here about it last week on here or calibra turbo set up

[novacabrio]

I have 288mm fitted at the moment, maybe 284mm I need to check so not looking to buy a full kit, just discs, Pref drilled

[Mieran]

I reccomend standard Meriva disks. Price depends where you get them from. I got some from GSF when Steve used to work there, I think they were £50.

They are 280 though, shouldn't make much difference though.

[Paul]

On early turbo calipers then dont line up very well, you have to grind about 2mm off of the front slider as it catches on the disc.

[Will F]

Go with either the Meriva disks or Fiat Coupe Turbo (290mm iirc) disks.

LMF (etc) prices are silly!

[GRUNT 16V]

i used vectra v6 288x24 stuff using spigot rings and getting an engineer to re drill them, i bought my disc and pad kit through vauxhall, in total i spent about £75.00 for them excluding calipers

[Jack]

Fiat Coupe Turbo (290mm iirc) disks.
284mm :thumb:

[Mike]

I got some drilled, grooved, vented, potty trained & FIDS free 280 Meriva CDTi disc's for about £60

[maddogdaz666]

i went to my local vauxhall breakers and got nearly new meriva 280mm disks pads and callipers for £30! :thumb: i do go there quite often tho lol

[brucer]

ive got meriva discs on mine, 280mm 4 stud which are found on 1.7 cdti models. only problem i found with them is that you need a very thin spiggot ring for them to sit on the hub correctly.

i made 2 out of 2mm sheet steel which needed to be made slightly thinner to fit in. can also use the bolt to hold the disc on which is handy.

[Will F]

What part no. are the Meriva disks?

May nip into Vaux and get a few sets cheap!;)

[Adam]

Fiat coupe discs on mine without probs. Only cost about 35 tooo

[maddogdaz666]

i think i heard of some lancia delta integrale disks being used too, but theyre expensive!

[cossienova]

Do you need the spigot rings with fiat coupe discs?

I am sure they are - the 16v Turbo - not the 20v.

And I have Delta Intagrale disks on mine - the PCD is 100.8 so you need to open one of the hole out a tad... no need for spiggots though.

Im sure its non turbo, as I ordered some for a mate, and had the embarrassment of having to take them backlol

And fiat ones need the holes opening from 10mm to 11mm.

[Jack]

The only difference between the Fiat discs is the overall height of the disc (aside from the brembos being bigger)

The 20V turbo has the brembo calipers and 305mm discs
The 16v turbo has the 284 discs with 43.5mm overall height
The N/A 16v & 20v has the 284 discs with 39.4mm overall height.

Vectra V6/Late Calibra V6 has 288 discs with 42mm overall height

So you want the 16v Turbo discs as they're closer in size to the vauxhall height..?

unsure on what Vauxhalls centre disc bore is thought?


Anyone else think a set could be worth a try?

Was speaking to my mate that works in an auto factors today looking into the meriva discs, according to his big book of brakes the 280mm 4 stud discs are also fitted on all Astra H's with 4 stud.
