The 288mm Vectra calipers bolt straight on to a Corsa knuckle, you'll also want spigot rings for the disc's.

You'll be better off spending the extra and getting the kit new from LMF.

What engine are you using?

If your going to put a v6 in it I would personally spend a bit more and get the lmf 308mm kit I run the grooved 288mm lmf kit and they are pretty useless tbh

trying to make the rear manifold will be a biiaatch as you have to get it around the steering rack otherwise it fouls, engines a tight squeeze anyways
