How cheap is cheap??

Cuz for the hassle of putting 2-pot AP Calipers (i think) on your corsa, you may as well put the V6 caliper and discs on.

You will have to get V6 discs poss, re-drilled to 4 stud then get the AP calipers, and somehow make a 3d template for caliper to fit to the hub, then get in touch with an engineering company that could laser/plasma cut you some carriers. Not forgetting braided lines (but thats the easy bit).

P.s. are the calipers Radial Mounted??

I got Wilwood 4pot calipers and 285mm disks plus all associated brackets etc for £500.

Alternatively you could get Porsche(usually made by Brembo I think) calipers from a breaker, some disks off Hi Spec and get an engineer to make the brackets you will need.

Problem there is the calipers second hand still fetch around £300, discs around £150 and for an engineer to make up brackets £100+. And thats still not guaranteed that they will fit behind the spokes on the wheel.

Best bet mate, is to buy a kit, ready to fit such as Wilwood, WP Racing e.t.c. from a specialised brake company. A lot easy n cheaper in the long run. I've tried all route's LOL.

...if you check my sig
you will find that i have V6 brakes allready.

Can a man have APRacing on is corsa?

I know that they are expensive
but my M8 can get me some good price (please....)
and OPEL (coz i'm Portuguese) can sell them
coz speedster use it, so the only thing left to know is:

DO THEY FIT?
