i know u have got the kits u can buy like wilwood that are pretty much ready fit but there like 470quid.
i currently have for 256mm x24 astra brakes fitted, i cant use 280mm disc set ups as car runs 14inch rims for rallying.
how easy is it to but , for example fiat coupe 4 pots and make a braket for them. has anyone done this ??

or has anyone found any standard cars with 4 pots around the 256 size that will fit vauxhall corsas ????

The best thing with 4 pots is they're light, so they lower your unsprung weight. I had a set of wilwoods on my old Corsa and I had a pretty long pedal, like the 288's I had before. I would be surprised if Brembo 4 pots would do the same. I think the set up you've got is ideal, for short rally stages.

Brembo calliper is very chunky and won't really be suited to the small disc, i would look at the small willwood range then make a bracket up
