Other than the disks, what else do i have to change, i have vented disks at the moment. think they are 233mm
do i need to change calipers and the mounting bracket or just the caliper?
also what are the different sizes of brakes in diameter/engine size?
Cheers for your help.

THIS IS FOR A CORSA B ONLY
u have to change the calipers and brakets but the brakets come with the new calipers or u can take them off a donner car. theres no need to disasemble the calipers from the braket if yer taking them off a donner car just bolt the whole lot off and bolt them onto yer own car. u will also need the disks. to save ya problems id recomend using new disks but that is up to yerself.
u will need some braided hoses with these brakes or they will feel completely ropey. U2U TOMAS off here he was very cheap on goodridge ones when i was installing mine.
disk sizes are
GSI--> 236mm Vented
Astra GTE 2.0 ATE--> 256mm Vented
Vectra V6--> seems to be some confusion with the size of these... as far as i aware mine are 284mm although some people seem to think there 288mm
These are also vented.
this gives u an idea on the difference in size.

v6 uses 284mm discs turbo cav and cally use 288mm, can use the v6 calipers with both sizes i believe.

yes I was using calipers from a cav & discs from a cally - was a tight squeeze, but still fit!
