i know this has been done before, but how easy is it to do & what do you have to do to fit them to a corsa? i can get a set of fiat turbo brembo calipers pretty cheap & want to know whats involved.

I would say the spacing on the caliper mounts is different, so you'd need a spacer making up.

IF they have different spacing, you'd just need to make a cardboard pattern. and have someone with a machine shop make you up a bracket like this



That's just an example, but you get the idea.

You'd need to check the measurements with the disc mounted though, as the caliper might need to be moved in or out, as well as up or down.

It won't be 'hard' just a bit time consuming.
