I used meriva ones, but you'll have to watch because when they wear the pads will eventually touch

All 5 stud the Vectra front discs are 288mm apart from the later v6 Vectra which is 308mm bud so there`s plenty to choose from.

Better off using cavalier/calibra turbo callers as they have a slightly smaller piston than the v6 so give better pedal feel.

fiat coupe non turbo i believe but i think there were issues with them not being as thick as the vectra ones and depending on what he is using it for i recommend what nic says or go with some 4 pots i had the v6 ones and i hated them the wilwood 4pots arefar better

its a hard one you see because hes got a metro that hes stripped to a bare shell to rebuild, its going to be stupidly stupidly low just as a project to see how low he can get a car and have it drivable, cos hes weird like that

so hes cut the strut turrets out the top, welded corsa turrets in and had hubs made that are corsa hubs but with metro ball joint holes in the bottom
then his mate gave him a set of v6 discs, carriers, pads and calipers for £20 so hes wanting to fit them, problem being his discs are 5 stud
hence the question, but it seems meriva discs will be the ones
