Damn. My welding skills arn't too bad, alothough i havn't done it in years. was mainly hoping to avoid having to do that. Think i'll sort the exterior out and then looking at the shitty hubs will probably give me the drive to do it.

they are front disks not rears

u need to take the rear disk assembly from an astra if u want rear disks

i dont think theres anyone selling kits to do it

seems simple enough though if u have a welder.

Happy days. I've been wanting to get rid of those sh1tty drums for ages now. Didnt fancy a DIY job for obvious safety reasons.

Do the ones from v tuning still need all the drilling and welding and stuff? Probably a stupid question but just humour me. :D

that wont all work then, the calipers are the wrong ones for the discs.

you either need 2l calipers or the specially made v6 discs.

cavalier 2.0l discs

Vauxhall Cavalier V6 Front Calipers

make sure the bleed nipple is at the top when you fit them, have to be on the right side or they wont work!!!
