Does anyone know whats involved in fitting corsa vxr brakes to a corsa b?

308 brakes from a vec b will fit on a corsa b, five stud hubs or redrilled disc. 16" wheels.

I expect you'll need the carriers from a Meriva VXR.

Whats wrong with the 256mm brakes?

meriva vxr brakes are 308, the discs pads and calipers are same as vec b but carriers are differant. so youy need vec b ones. meriva vxr brakes fit corsa c.

get some decent pads and a bigger servo,

whats wrong with the 2.0's ?
bigger will get more pedal travel,

corsa D servo could be a good shout as they brake fucking well, and use the 256mm set up

2.0s are anoyingly bad.

never looked in to it myself, mondeo servos used to be a good replacement,

i might look in to it, if a corsa d servo could be fitted would be a huge difference, the brakes in the D's are amazing, and are the 256mm set up, with abs though

Im using 286 discs, mintex 1144 pads, vec b 288 callipers and carriers, standard master cylinder and servo, rear discs from a cavalier, bf goodridge hoses, got great pedal feel and more than enough braking force for my corsa b. Using meriva vxr 308 front discs 1144 pads with standard rear discs on my 2.2 sri corsa c and that good to.
