    Your best bet is to get a Vectra 288mm set up and get the discs drilled to fit your 4 stud. do a search on here, this conversion has been done 3,066,987 times.

    cheers for the help lads!
    iv decided to go down the 288m vectra set up route
    iv managed to buy some 288mm drilled and grooved disc off ebay for under £80 i
    also bought the Alloy spiggot rings so the discs go on the hubs straight which cost me £12 lol bargin
    then iv got calipers off a 2.5 v6 at the scrap yard for £35!
    i just need to get the pads and the disc,s drilled to four stud now
    but all in all i think got a good cheap brake set up

    what year is your Astra? Astra G?

    Astra G caliper spacing is different from earlier Vauxhalls. Parts are not interchangable.
