288mm brake upgrade question
Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2013 7:03 pm
My V6 has 284 discs at the moment, if I want to upgrade to the 288, do I need to fit vectra 288 calipers (as well as the discs and pads) ?

yes. watch out with your hubs some are too large to fit over the 288m disk

Larger brake caliper pistons, so spongier pedal
