Give me a shout if you can find a place that sells the brackets seperately

nice one. Ive had alook around ebay and a few vauxhall sites and came up with nothing. They're probably a piece of piss to get made up aswell.

What calipers are you talking about here, the 256mm and use a spacer bracket to take the 288mm disc? What discs do you fit?

I guessed that bit mate

Reason I ask is I fitted Vectra 288mm Calipers and brand new discs which i drilled to 4 stud. Cost me £90 all in.
Seems like they're fitting 288mm discs on 256mm spaced calipers or am I getting it wrong?

yes, 256mm spaced calipers on 288mm discs. The 256 calipers are better suited for my car, V6 calipers give too much pedal travel due to the abs module or something.

What car are they going on mate?
The 288 I fitted to my Cavalier so wasn't a problem, I intend to fit another 288 kit onto my Corsa but now I'm curious about the ABS module problem.
You got any more info?

corsa gsi, If your car doesnt have ABS then apparently the V6 calipers are brilliant. There seems to be a pattern emerging with the pedal travel problem on the GSi's. Havent heard about it on the later sport models, though.
