Re: brake upgrade.
Hi,
I've asked the same question about my 1.0 ltr.
I'm looking to upgrade my brakes to calibra 2.0ltr brakes.
I've been told all i need are the calipers and new pads/discs.
Check that the vectra calipers will fit first.

Re: brake upgrade.
vectra 2.0ltr brakes are 5 stud you would need calibra front discs pads and caliper as they are four stud,straight swap from your old brakes
