Hey folks,

I have just found out that cavalier 16v brakes are almost a direct fit on my caddy van.
I have a spare set of cavalier turbo struts in the garage so I would fit them if I was able to get discs that fit ie. 4x100 instead of the 5 stud they come with.

Does anyone know is you can buy the larger discs in 4 stud fitment?

Hope this makes senselol

My nova has 5 stud 288 discs drilled for 4 stud, I'll pull one off so you have a template if you like

I thought you used a meriva disc. May be a different size than 288 come to think of it.

^Pie beat me to it^

Looks like the caddy is in for some much needed braking upgrades.

Apparently vag G60 discs are the same but a fraction of the price from GSF.

I will try to find out and let everyone know.
