Hi guys and girls, just landed myself a set of fiat coupe 20v turbo brembo calipers, just wondering if i could use the standard fiat discs with these on my 4 stud calibra? if not then any ideas what discs i could use? Thanks

No reason to use fiat discs since you still need a custom adapter for fiat calipers. Better to get the right adapter to fit fiat calipers to vauxhall discs.

But isn't the problem, solved by using Fiat or Renault discs, finding big enough 4 stud Vauxhall discs?

Surely its easier to change discs than callipers?

Fascinating, that means the Fiat callipers must stick out a lot more than the GM ones.

Thought id need at least 16s not 18s, the fiat they came of has 17s i think?

and by the time you make up a mounting bracket it will pull it out further
