Vxr brembo discs and pads on gtc - thebigman1106 - 22:nd-Mar-2017 Hi, Wondering if any one has done this? Fitting the front (and/or the rear) brembo discs/pads n calipers from the vxr on to the gtc? I was wondering if it's been done & would you need to fit larger alloys afterwards? Just a thought! RE: Vxr brembo discs and pads on gtc - Rusty2009 - 22:nd-Mar-2017 They've been fitted to a 5-door 2.0CDTI iirc there was some modifying needed. RE: Vxr brembo discs and pads on gtc - dicko16v - 22:nd-Mar-2017 That would be me it depends on what your astra is as to the pdc of the disc i fitted insignia vxr ones and it was a lot of work to get them to fit but astra ones are the same as the 2.0 cdti as its the same pdc also take itacout the price of discs vauxhall want £700 RE: Vxr brembo discs and pads on gtc - cornishtaz - 23:rd-Mar-2017 I know of a 1.4T GTC owner who has fitted the vxr brake setup, as for alloys I think 18s are the smallest you'll get away with.

Not sure if its worth it + I only have the standard 18" SRI alloys. RE: Vxr brembo discs and pads on gtc - tomelmer - 23:rd-Mar-2017 You can order the replacement brake discs direct from mtec for the vxr 355mm rotor they come without the central bell though but you just swap them over. RE: Vxr brembo discs and pads on gtc - tez162003 - 13:th-Nov-2020 Bump on an old post. Has anyone on here actually ever installed VXR Brembos to a normal GTC? I know it has been done as I've seen GTC's online with Brembos but I'm curious if its a direct swap (assume it would be?). I know you'd need the VXR dust sheilds (if keeping dust shields) but are calipers the same bolt spacing and also do you just need VXR brake hoses (do VXR hoses fit to GTC brake pipe). Any help would be appreciated. |
