u if u use fiat ones, i think u need to get a spigot ring to sit on the outside of the hub n then the disk will sit on it correctly

much cheaper mate,
my disks were 60 , but you could get brembo ones for 90,
my calipers were 35 quid, didnt even need new seals or anything, just a good clean.
i had to get the bolt holes drilled out about 1-2mm more so the disks would fit the corsa,
only tricky part is keeping the disks in the right place when putting wheel back on, you'll get used ot it! lol
highly reccomended and half the price of any kit

i'd recommed you get green stuff pads.... i have v6 brakes from v-tunning which are just GM parts and the bloody brake dust on yer alloys is rediculous... i mean ya have to clean them twice a week
then again i just remembered u have black wheels so the normal pads will do in yer instance.

Same as ones you'd use on the wheels as normal i'd guess. If the centre bore for Fiats is smaller you'll need to have a spiggot ring, to take iy upto standard vauxhall size, then run another spiggot to get it to the size of the wheel centre bore. Alternatively, just buy Fiat Spiggot rings for your wheels .

hub size is different on the 5 stud models, ie corsa hub is 56mm 5 stud is 70mm i think, therefore the discs would float about on the hub, bit like using alloys with no spiggot rings, relie purely on the bolts for support.

These are 4 stud disks though, hence why people are buying these rather than buying re-drilled 5 stud disks  .

yes, but same thing applies for the fiat discs, they use a different size hub to a corsa.
