I have been told that Fiat Marea discs are good for the conversion.

They are 284mm, Vectra ones are 288mm.

The pads I will be using Vectra ones.

The Marea discs have an internal hub diameter of 59mm, Nova's are 60mm, will this matter?

The pads will either be very close to the edge of the disc, of just off the edge of the disc, will this matter?

Thanks for an information

Send a PM to Chris16v

I think it's him that is running these.

I also remember reading you have to rout the holes a bit cos the pcd is couple mm off.

Ok, the discs are a measured 284mm, and the pads will hang of the edge by 2-3mm, will this matter?

cav v6 used 284mm disks anyway so you should be fine with pad overlap as long as u get cav v6 pads

cav/cally turbo run 284mm discs with 5 stud discs.
v6 vectra's run 288mm disc's.

get the v6 discs/calipers and get the discs redrilled to 4 stud!
i got mine redrilled at a engineering place for ?15, this included the spiggot ring pressed into each disc so that they sit tight on the hub.

What?

So they're 5 stud then. Just checking as I asked about 4 stud 284/8mm discs a while ago and found there are none.

lol, never mind, I obviously didn't explain myself simply enough. If you need them re-drilled to 4 stud then they are a 5 stud disc!

like I said, only asking as I haven't found any 4 stud 284/8 yet bar similar fiat/lancia discs.
