A full V6 kit is only £200 new from NotNormal on Migweb, the GSi ones should be ample though.

Well I am safe then.

The standard 1.2 8V brakes aren't all that great so I want something that really fills up the wheel.

Yeah I may well buy some new pads, some good pads.

Cheers for all the help people, much appreciated.

Whatever you do Id buy new pads anyway while you are doing the conversion £15-20.

the 2.0 16v brakes will fit under 15"s.
have a look in the search bar at the top of the forum for brake conversions

I am right in thinking that 2.0 16V brake setup would fit under my 15" rims nicely.

Also could someone give me an idea on how to convert the brakes. I know you have to clamp the brake house, then undo eerything, remove it all, put all the new parts on and away you go. How much would a hose clamp be and how long should the job realistically take??

Yeah I didnt think about that, how stupid can i be. Cheers Stuyw.

I dont exactly what he meant regarding the V6 setup, but he said they get certain parts from him and get other parts made up etc.

Went to AllVox in Pinxton near me the other day, asked for a price for Astra 2.0 16V callipers/pads/disks. Expected the price to be sitting around £50, was told that I would be looking at more like £110 from them. Wasn't happy about this, are they asking too much. I think so.

They also claim to supply PVD with the V6 brakes etc for their brake kits. Dunno how true it is, basically I feel they are trying to rip me off because they are specialist vauxhall scrappies, would I be better just going to a general scrappies??
