Might have my hands on a set of Vectra V6 brake calipers with pads, Before i get them though i was wondering how much it would be for the brackets to fit them to my car and for a set of new disks also

the caliper brakets should have been included if you got them in the scrappy...

they will more than like be actually bolted to the caliper...

But i want the look as well as the stopping power so thats why i am after V6 brakes. I was just thinkin they are 200 brand new and i can get the calipers for 50 quid and the discs for 95 so i could save myself 50 quid, £150 for a set of V6 brakes is pretty good imo

There sooo bloody heavy though, even my 4 pots with 330mm discs are lighter than the v6 setup!

Braided hoses are a must as you may end up with a squishy pedal

They are if you don't buy EBC tat or similar. GM disks are cheap. You can get them from Halfords even cheaper.
