I have been looking for v6 front and rear disks for a while, I done a search on here, but only to find one place had shut down, and v-tunning is out of stock, and has been for a while 
I am also looking for a conversion kit for the rear to allow the rear disks to replace the drums. Along with the v6 breaks I am looking for braided lines to help the spongey-ness (think thats what they were).
The wheel question - I will soon be buying Compomotive Mo 15s. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120151333298&sspagename=ADME:X:RTQ:UK:11 and was wondering if these will fit ok with the new brakes and the car (it has been lowered 40mm, its a Corsa B, 1.6 16v sport)
Cheers in advance peeps

I dont think those wheels will fit a corsa mate as they are a ford fittment (the ones in the ebay link, there were a vauxhall fittment made though, just not those particular ones), could be wrong though, anyone confirm this for me?
Your best bet for the brakes is to look out for people braking V6's try ebay etc.
Rear discs, I think these are done using the whole rear beam (not sure what car from, possibly an astra GTE?) and converting it to fit a corsa

Ok mate, as you guessed I dont really know how wheel fitments etc work, I do know that you can get those wheels for the Corsa, just assumed they were the same.
Well even then, the Corsa version of those wheels, would the v6 brakes still fit behind them?
As far as I know you can take the rear axel from an Astra or something lol, or get a conversion kit, they are around £80 I think.

on the wheel front, alot of manufacturers use the same fittments (ie space between the wheel bolts, offset, which is basically how far the wheels stick out of the arches) but i'm 90% sure that ford and vauxhall use different fittments so the bolts wont line up.
As for the brakes, I think V6 brakes will fit behind 15's but I cant swear to it. I think DAZ1985 has v6 brakes behind his 15" Cav GSI rims

Both Robin and Broster had/have V6 brakes behind Comp's in 15's, so u2u them and double check the offset they had etc
