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

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.

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

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.

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.

the parts are for a front disc conversion..will the v6 calipers not work with 2.0l brake discs then without an adapter? and where can i get one from?
