Is there any other daewoo/opel/vauxhall or anything else that has bigger/better brakes that will be a direct swap onto my car? Anything?

I dont mind going through the hassel of getting someone to ship from another Country

I'm thinking find a car with the same lug spacing, get a Big Brake kit for that car, make a custom set of caliper brackets or extensions, and viola, big brakes on your car.

Domwoo, did the same thing on his car using a Honda or Acura setup and if I recall, it worked quite well.

worked well... but his brackets had to be made like 3 or 4 times cause it's such a precise thing to get right. i have a brake rotor catalog that you can compare by lug sixing and hat height and all that... lemme look

cool!

Yeah.. I dont think I wanna get anything custom made.. it'd be such a hassel to even find someone that'll do it. But then again I guess I dont have much of a choice.. Will anyone even do such a thing since its such a liability risk?

the thing would be to make the template yourself and then have a shop make it without any questions as to what it is

that's where the catalog is... but it doesn't list the new woos

are the new suzuki's the same size as the nubi I/II ???

also... what about the verona. with a v-6 surely it has bigger brakes...

Suzuki Verona is a Daewoo Magnus/Eagle, or Chevrolet Epica in other parts of the world, so yes, it is a Daewoo. I believe it runs the same 5 Lug hub as the Leganza, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't have bigger brakes, it only has 155 HP, which is like 15 more than the Leganza, and its only marginally heavier, and I don't think it warrants a brake upgrade. But someone should check up on it

Saab Rotors and Calipers are a direct fitment.... but you have to redrill the bolt pattern at a machine shop.

So any Saab Rootor and Caliper will work assuming both parts are made for each other? But if they are direct fit then why need to to redrill the bolt pattern? I am just asking because I know Saab makes good cars and powerfull brakes.

The verona is 4x114.3

What measurments would I need to be sure if a brake rotor fits?

BosnianLanos · Post by **BosnianLanos** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 10:34 pm

I stand corrected. If the lug pattern is the same, the rotors will fit. The only issue then will be the caliper bracket. If the Verona's rotors are only marginally larger or even the same as the Forenza's, then it is clearly not worth it. Just get a big rotor upgrade from a 4x114.3 car and make new brackets. It shouldn't be too bad.
