would a set of vectra v6 callipers bolt directly to the hubs of a corsa gsi? with the brackets off the vectra? also will the v6 callipers use the same brake lines as the corsa gsi or will i need different ones? any help will be ace, cheers.

yes i have and they will go straight on but not much of an upgrade on your part tbh.
Redrilling the 5 stud discs to 4 stud isnt to big a problem tbh.

no any half competent machine shop should be able to do it tbh.
You would just need to suppply a pair of discs and one of your discs as the four stud pattern.
You could almost d it yourself.

For v6 you also need some spigot rings for the discs if theres noone selling any on here then there was a chap on mig selling them.
