Calibra front Brake conversion to a Corsa B

Hi can anyone help me with my break issue?

I am looking to change my front brakes on my 1.0ltr corsa to Calibra front brakes. (The engine will be following eventually).

My question is what do i need to change them and can everything be found on a scrap yard car?

If it is possible to get the bits from a scrap yard car i would obviously buy new discs and brake pads.

Cheers in advance.

Matt

just the calipers basicly
the discs and pads best off buying new ones

you will also need to get a bigger brake servo but you can always get this off the doner car (that your getting the engine off)

il also reccomend upgrading the rear drums to discs

I've a set of front breaks on mine from a cav sri, should be the same, bolted straight up. haven't done a servo, not sure if there is any defference between them on corsa's. the only thing is if you manage to get the 280 something mm breaks which are on the turbos i think you'll need 15" wheels min and the disks are a bit more money cos you'll need to get custom 4 stud instead of the standard 5, I think.
