Vauxhall Brakes - 280mm Conversion

Though you guys might find this interesting… Scarface on the Caddy forums has plumbed up the Vauxhall Calibra (+ Cav etc) Turbo Caliper setup (With the VW 280mm G60 disks).

Hopefully the first caddy running vauxhal calibra turbo calipers with 280mm disks under 15inch rims.(correct me if wrong)
I had to use longer bolts with a sleave to go through carriers (you could use sholder bolts as suggested.)

The calipers bolted straight on.
I used the calibra flexi hose.
280mm Corrado g60 disks.

my oem disks next to 280 calibra disks (used for mock up)

trial fit using calibra disks


All fits so on to painting. (may change colour)


stuff


finished result with the new g60 disks fitted


Make sure that if your running 15in rims your wheel balancing weights are not in line with your caliper.

This may not work with other 15in rims.

I know Bren fitted the same setup a while back but I don't think he ever used it in anger, so it's nice to have someone confirm it.

He's gone for the sleeve option on the bolts.  See the Vauxhall Brake thread in the Brake FAQ section on here for more details of the Bolts / Sleeves required to fit.

Happy days!
