Discs and pads on a V6

Are there any recommendations for the best make of discs and pads on a V6 Calibra and whether drilled or grooved or both are the best?

i had grooved blsckdiamond discs on my last cav v6.paid 105 squid from ad in t.v.unfortunately cant member wot ad.they started 2 squeal slightly after approx 18month but that coulda been a bit of gravel on a pad or glazing i suppose.anyway their a lot cheaper than o.e. parts and look good.it was a small firm way down south

I have Tarox 308mm grooved disc, GSI calipers and Blackdiamond pads on the front and Blackdiamond grooved disc and pads on the back and it works well.

Are the Vectra Gsi calipers and if so does the brackets need altered?

I didn't get any brackets in the kit.

Give them a call and see what they can do for you, if you'er a memeber you will get a discount as well.

They are very helpful.
