Just a quick one, when fitting the V6 type 288mm discs do you end up with one of the holes you have to drill in them to reduce to the 4 stud fitting, in effect ovaling out one of the original holes?

If you buy the V6 brake kit from LMF, it goes straight on.

If you buy 5 stud 288mm discs from Vauxhall, you need to drill new holes and have a spigot ring in the middle (James R on here can supply them)

If you use the fiat coupe 16v turbo discs, you need to make the hole 1mm longer towards the outside, so the PCD goes from 4x98mm to 4x100mm.

276x22.

4x100 though, so they might work, but I'm not sure about the size being ok with the calipers

288 or 284. I think 276 would be pushing it a bit, that's 6mm less pad contact, and the discs are narrower.
