EP82 Touge Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I have:2 x spacer (3mm)2 x spigot ring2 x front Vauxhall/opel astra g cdti 1.3 discs (I'm assuming 260mm fits under 15" wheels no problems)Has anybody else done the exact same conversion?What is the purpose of the 3mm spacer?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP82 Touge Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Also it looks as though I have to take a bit of metal off the caliper bracket to avoid hitting the hub? Is this correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I believe the astra disc doesnt need the spacer ring. Thats for using levin discs, it goes under the disc between it and the hub to center it in the caliper. 260s fit fine, you can fit 275mm discs with levin calipers under 15s fine, stock starlet are 256mm anyway.And yes in somecases you do need you clear the arch between carrier bolt holes others you dont. If you want to make the kit 275mm just use celica st202 carriers and only get the astra disc skimmed to 275mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 buy the apec dsk 2188 get it cut down to 260mm and 1.5mm from inside pdc face nooo spacers or longer studs needed much safer option your 3mm spacer is to clear the caliper shit option Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EP82 Touge Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thank you for the reply.Handy to know that some trimming is required on the carrier.Can anybody else confirm that no spacer is needed with the Astra disc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) trust me kid no spacers or studs or trimming of caliper required i have them fitted as long as u use them 2188 discs and get em cut down Edited February 9, 2016 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Thank you for the reply.Handy to know that some trimming is required on the carrier.Can anybody else confirm that no spacer is needed with the Astra disc?Astra discs 100% need a spigot ring centre bore is 60mm and needs to be reduced to 55mm or 54mm for older gt'sSpacers are sometimes required between disc and wheel to give more clearance for the carrier/caliper to stop it rubbing on the inner wheel, this is always dependant of the brand and size etc of the wheels Edited February 9, 2016 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

russ78 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) e10 carriers run a much thinner disc than celica carriers not worth the effort imo as they wont dissipate heat much better than stock starlet discs I have a set lying around from researching setups I can get up a comparison pic if anyone wants Edited February 18, 2016 by russ78 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
