Calipers might be different as well.

You need a Vectra B 2.6 setup, or the LMF/Courtenay conversion

Even the discs are the wrong centre bore as far as I know

just noticed you said theyre mk4 astra turbo brakes. the calipers don't fit if iirc the carrier holes are different as said( hence me needing custom brackets when i was putting the corsa reyland on my astra) id go for cav/calibra turbo calipers with the lmf 308 discs and brackets should fit then
