288mm brake upgrade question
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) ?
Re: 288mm brake upgrade question
yes. watch out with your hubs some are too large to fit over the 288m disk

Is it worth it for 4mm?

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...
