    Some VT vented discs calipers and pads will fit straight on providing you have a 4 stud hub. If not youll need 4 stud hub and 4stud wheels, or you can jus get ok pads n discs.. think AX had some vented 3stud setups.

    yes you will

    the carriers suit the caliper so need the correct ones
    vt stuff is a nice upgrade over the 1.1 stuff
    i put them on my old forte and on my 205 1.4 and on both they helped

    get some 1144s or similar for pads too as cheap ones are ultra shit tbh
    bleed up with good fluid too
