lmf do the conversion mate inc calipers discs and pads and caliper carriers for 260 using black diamond grooved dics, you will need 15 inch wheels on tho so they fit

yep think that will be the best route then. was going to just fit the grooved discs that i have but v6 brakes are cool so thats the new plan. looks like i wont be needing the grooved discs i have now.

my advise would be fit braided hoses also becuase the pedal feel gets even more spongy with the v6s fitted

you need to redrill the coupe ones, theyre 4x98
p.s i have v6 brakes on mine, you can the difference straight away! although the pedal is still kinda spongy with braided lines,

Not re-drill as such just make them slightly bigger. Took ten mins and the most to do.
I'm using EBC Drilled and grooved discs.

was just looking up disc sizes and the v6 disc size is 296mm and the fiat coupe disc size is 284mm. are these the discs that you are supposed to use instead?? the v6 brakes that im planning on getting are the omega v6 brakes, is this correct.

You don't want the 296mm ones, you want the 284mm ones from a Cavalier or Calibra Turbo/V6, or 288mm ones from a Vectra.
So, using the 284mm Coupe discs is the alternative.
296mm discs you can't buy from LMF with 4 holes.

Coupe discs are more than capable of the job. My mate is running coupe discs on his 300hp Nova, no problems at all. Just need to make the holes a little bigger.

Buy the calipers new, they're £48 each, then discs are £25.14 each.
That's £150 for brand new, fully working calipers with shiny new discs.
£30 more for braided hoses and you've still got them £35 less than LMF sell them.

no i mean its hard to come across the calipers for the 288mm coupe discs. im just wondering if its posible to get 4 stud discs in the 296mm from the omega as thier much more common.
