remember you'll also need to change the discs and calipers aswell. unless you get your own discs drilled out for 5 stud hubs.

not sure about vectea stuff but using calibra or cav turbo is a straight swap i would use the whole rear arm and front strut that will save you trying to split hubs off the bearings

the vectra front strut is different so you wouldnt be able to change it straight over, as steve say changing the rear arm and front strut off a v6 or turbo is probably the easiest way of doing it.

Did the driveshafts have different splines on the hub end as well?
