no currently fitted is Vectra V6 5 stud 288mm jobbies

but im gonna change to 280 mm 4 stud Combo/meriva discs for ease and safety and that little bit of extra clearence for the callipers as i have NO idea if they will fit under my 16's

the Brembos are originally from a 2003 Honda Integra DC5 import which ran 300mm discs but these are the same width(25mm) as the 280mm vauxhall discs so should be ideal

also i bought the Brembos in 2004 so have done very little mileage, i originally bought them to upgrade my Civic Type R but it wasn't that simple! so i kept em safe which will hopefully work out tops for my XE
