i brought these off matt last yr and never got round to fitting to my car before i sold it.
so i have calipers and carriers
discs some surface rust but not worn few miles of driving will soon clean them up.
pads about half worn but been sat around 4a while so would recommend fitting new.
i also purchased some spacer rings that go between hub and disc to help centralise disc on hub as turbos have a bigger hub than mk1s
same sort of thing as get used with alloy wheels.

i think i gave matt £35 for them and then £20 for the spacer rings so would like to see as much back as i can

straight bolt on fit mate,but if u do get new discs you will have to but calibra/cav v6 or turbo discs and then get them drilled to the 4 stud pattern.

i take it ur keeping wux then???

these also need drilling but lots of people seem to have drilling them so i guess that it simple enough task there a set on ebay at the mo that hav been drilled so can see what it looks like when done. but calipers are straight fit. i belive hyundai coupe turbo disc will fit the vauxhall and be the right size 287mm i think or lmf sell this size disc in 4stud fitment.

let me know if still intersted cheers mate

Ok, so not as straight forward as I'd hoped. Not sure about drilling new bolt holes in discs so will leave these I think.
