Alrite ppl hope u can help me. I currently own a 1.4 8v sri corsa B and am wanting to fit the front 2.0 16V brakes and just had a couple of questions:
1) What cars can i get the callipers off? I.e Cav 16V / Vectra ?
2)Other than callipers n actual discs do i need anything else such as the master cylinder or servo off the donor car?
Cheers for any help, Alex

Thats perfect m8 thanx. Didn't know if the corsa master cylinder n servo wud b up for the job of the bigger callipers. I'm defo getting new discs and pads (may aswell, they're cheap enough) was actually thinkin about a nice set of grooved and x-drilled but think they're a bit too much.

Dunno bout the 2 litre brakes but my V6 are really spongy where the caliper is so much bigger, getting braided hoses this week.

That's wat i was worried bout actually. i don't wanna go to a junction n hav to put the peddle to the floor. Wud braided hoses change that just that it's to do with the amount of fluid being forced into the callipers aint it

I'm on the 2litre brakes, i've just put EBC discs on and the greenstuff pads, seem to work fine, plus i've had the fluid replaced with DOT4 and obvisously bled the system!
Got the pads for £35 and the discs for £110 i think, not too bad!

i have v6 brakes on mine... yeh granted the pedal might be a bit spongy but you would never have that problem... well unless they were broken 
oh and if ya stand on them to hard they lock up in a second ESPECIALLY in the wet
