    I have the same calipers and carrier's and far as I know they are bolt on with 1.7 TD Astra discs, the discs need machined to let them slide into the hub I Think, I was gifted discs allredy done so hopefully someone can confirm that they are "bolt on" 

    :)

    Thanks mate.

  2. Who sells/provides/makes the best aftermarket parts please? Looking at inner and outer track rods, cv boots, drop links, steering rack boots and ball joints and lower suspension arms/wishbones.
    I know id workz do most but not all the parts so if I can get all from one place that would be ideal.
    Would rather avoid cheap crap if possible.
    Many thanks.

    The WMS setup isn't £750. 4 POT KITS (each includes calipers/brackets+inserts/bolts etc/discs):
    4P107-S - Normal 275x22 size kit with best wheel clearance (printable clearance test profile: 275x22 kit PDF ) = £485.00+vat

     

     

    Thanks Calum.

    the £750 was a guess on the price from my part.

    its still £580 with vat which in the grand scheme of things isn’t that bad compared to other costs of performance parts.

    would still like to see if there is similar stopping power for half the price though.

    No just the WMS four pots that they sell for these cars.

    I know you shouldn’t do brakes on the cheap but if I can avoid spending £750+ on a brake set up (let me stress, I don’t know exactly how much the WMS brake set up is) and find a kit that works brilliantly at a third of the price, I would prefer to.

    YUP LEVIN BZR twinpot calipers and cariers and corsa c  gsi 260mm disks ( check disk height as some differ ) is direct bolt on no messing with spacers or longer studs  

    ive guided a few members on here to that setup direkt fit   

    Thanks for the confirmation and putting that nice and simple Colin, those of us who are great mechanics need it in a nice simple language. :D

    Just out of interest, why wouldn't you just go with the WMS setup route?

    I got a used set on my Starlet, didn't pay much more than the Astra disc setup and with no modifications just bolt on.

    Now I have heard not great stuff about the WMS setup, and I can't say my car "feels" like it's on four pots. That said, I couldn't bleed the ST202 calipers yet the WMS bled instantly and passed the MOT.

    Callum,

    apologies if I’m being dumb here.

    when you say the wms setup, do you mean using the levin callipers and carriers but then using wms discs?

    many thanks.

    Read through this thread and no better understanding than before haha. 
    Have Glanza V ep91, want bigger brakes has to be all bolt on less the need for spigot rings and or grinding.
    What calipers and what discs?
    Many thanks.

    I concur with this.

    As someone who isn't the most technically minded [and wants it as easy as possible!], I just want to buy stuff and fit it.

    If there is anyone out there who makes these kits, I'd certainly buy one.
