Hello people  )
Im wondering a few things ...
I found a front calipers and carriers from astra mk4 gsi turbo, my question is r they gonna fit straight to my corsa b ? WHen im installin the front 308 mm Discs can i fit them straight away (offcourse drillin it from 5 to 4 studs) or i need to change and front stud axle ?
Another question is ... If its easy to install rear stud axle from corsa c 1.8 to a corsa b any model ... is there any other vauxhall or any other car i can put a rear disc brakes from ? cos its unusual to use a 02,03,04 plate car parts to install to a 5-6-7 years older car without any problem ..

you can fit them with some modifying to the carriers and brackets however you will have to fit at least 17" wheels to clear the 308 discs. Personally the amount your going to spend doing that id rather get willwood or similar 4pot 280mm discs. as for the rears a corsa c beam is a straight swap for a b i used astra gte hubsa and carrriers though and you need a bit of modifying to the handbrake to get it to fit.

Your best bet is 288mm v6 mate any bigger and you will get bad pedal feel I've messaged you about the ones I have for sale

308 brakes from the vectra b will fit a corsa b and go under 16" softstars or as on my corsa it has corsa d sxi 16" rims. pedal feel is the same as using 288 disc as the callipers are the same just the carriers that change. feel can be improved by adjusting the free play at the brake pedal or fitting a larger master cylinder off a cavalier.

There's no stub axles, the hub is all one unit.
