 To convert to the larger set up, all you need is a donor car and swop all the parts to yours.BUT WOULD  RECCOMEND that new pads and discs are fitted at that stage anyway.

Good choice - I reckon those are way too small for Omega...

 Never down size critical componants such as brakes,as these could save your life and others as well.
