Right im in need of new calipers and discs, and im going to get the Astra GTE setup but i just wanted to know before i spend my money on it, would i be able to fit the V6 calipers and disc's from a 4stud Vauxhall, ive got 16" rims on they will be big enough wont they?? and if the V6 setup will fit, is there anything i should know? are they harder 2 do than the GTE or just the same? any help would be great

Cheers Craig

Cant see any reason why they would be harder to fit than the 16v ones :)

Cheers Elsey, looks like ill have to get the 288mm ones as it says you need a minimum wheel size of 17" to fit the 308mm ones and ive got 16" dam :x has anybody got some pics of the 288mm discs behind 16" wheels so i can see how much they fill the rim? I know techie fitted the V6 brakes does any1 have the post he done about it?
