Don't pay for a kit. Get a set of Vectra Calipers for around £20-30. Buy Pads and discs for said Vectra and a set of Spigot rings from Chris Astley for £15. Then all you have to do is print off the template and redrill the discs to 4 stud.

I've done this on my Cavalier and using all the above parts (discs and pads are gen Vauxhall) it cost me £90.

Also I'm doing the same on my Corsa project.

Vectra uses 288mm, Don't confuse them with Earlier Cav or Cally brakes.
