Mark, Verada discs & VL Turbo calipers on 1600 or early 180b struts is the popular one. The caliper bolt spacing is 75mm, so this does mean that you can use the late model VT+ twin spot calipers (which are pretty darn big) so long as they will clear your swaybar/steering linkages - which depends on your car and whether you mount the caliper to the front or back, and I've seen them fit under 15's. Check out publications like Unique Cars - HSV strip the stock ones and flog them off cheap when they fit up the Brembo or Harrop upgrades. You will probably need to space the pads to make up for the narrower Verada disc though.
