Big brakes

Im looking at the following,

308mm "Vectra B 2.5V6 Gsi" Kit - ?350
2 x 308mm vented discs, adapted to fit Vauxhall 4 stud hubs
2 x Vectra V6 Gsi calipers
1 x set of pads


Discs also available on their own, WITHOUT pads ?130.

Minimum wheels size: 17"

Is this a good price or is it worth bying iy all myself, I will be able to modify brakes disks etc.

Wot else would I need for it to fit?

Also how much would it cost for a rear disk conversion or an astra rear beam with everything I need on it.

Thanks

I bought the front calipers,discs n pads from a 2 ltr16v vectra for ?50 from a scrappy.
Theese were the 288mm type,i had to redrill the discs to fit 4 stud which i did at work.
Once fitted they were great but the pedal travel was massive,so i got a 22mm master cylinder and servo from a 2ltr cav which solved it.
It stops on a pin now,and they fit under 15" wheels.
All for ?50!!

i bought a set ov those m8, but sadly not got round to fitiing them yet!! :(

But when i got the box and opened it they were fookin massive so hopfully they should work well!!

Thats quite a good price for them, i checked around before buying them and i couldnt find them cheaper anywhere!!
