yes, caliper offset is very different. I tried fitting some AP 4 pots on with custom discs, all fitted well but the cost of 1 off alloy bells is a bit steep.

We fitted astra coupe turbo brakes all round on a corsa C. To do the fronts we used the whole front legs ect.. from the astra. Dont think they are a straight swap else we wouldnt have done that.

Surely the older callipers still fit. Try some 2.0 ltr callipers and discs from a cally or cav.

Loads of em and if they fit, easily maintained!

the 1.8 brakes are very good, better than any old V6 or 2.0 setup. servo is a bit OTT but you get used to that.
