hello peeps

I've got a 288mm disc conversion from a calibra turbo i believe on my Sport but the discs are warped, now the discs on it are redrilled 5 studs, but i obviously want 4 stud discs i heard a while ago fiat coupe discs fit but i'm unsure of this??? But did vauxhall do a 288mm disc in 4 stud???

I don't wanna pay £100 for plain discs in 4 stud that i've seen advertised and figure there must be a cheaper alternative???

Any help would be great

Dave

Yeah, theres a diesel Meriva that has 4 stud 288mm i think? Can't remember if its the 1.7dti or 1.7cdti though, as far as i'm aware one of them has 4 stud, the other 5

EDIT - I could be wrong though

LMF sell 4-stud drilled 288mm Discs, but being LMF, they aren't cheap...

they are slightly annoying when putting wheels on though because the centre bore is slightly bigger so they move about covering the bolt holes

once the wheel is on they are fine though

lmf do the discs to buy or you can ring them up and they will have them redrilled professionally for you

Ok i've just thought about this, if the Meriva one's are 280mm thats 8mm smaller than what i've got so would surely wear the pads funny ???

I've just seen 4 stud plain discs in an LMF advert in Total Vauxhall for £64.95 which to me still seems steep for plain discs??

I know i'm being picky but money is really tight at the moment so i'm trying to find the cheapest option

yup 8mm smaller so you need to keep an eye out for pad contact

if that happens you have no brakes|!
