Hi guys,

Im looking at upgrading my brakes but not sure what set to go for there are afew on ebay but not sure if they will be ok

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=160067178228&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=006 these are 296mm disks I have 15" alloys on so would they fit ?

what other vaux cars could i get a set of 2.0 Brakes from that would fit without drilling new holes ?

Cheers

Stew

2.0 astra or cavalier brakes should be ok.

The first ones wont fit under 15's but will fit some 16" wheels

2.0 astra or cavalier brakes should be ok.

i have 2.0 cav ones on mine.

You can buy brand new discs and pads from Vauxhalls for around £60 so you would just need 2.0 calipers

your only driving a 1.2 so a big brake conversion isnt really necessary, just mean more work for you, GSi set up perhaps?

Its Brakes not breaks as well

288mm is ya max on 15" as i'm getting some

but a lad on mig somewhere was on about 300mm with calipers that have been modified but i can't find

go for the 288 of a v6 just have to get the disks re-drilled

If I get them re-drilled would i need the spiggot rings ?

Yes you will because the centre bore is bigger on the bigger disked vauxhalls

All sounds alot of hassle lol

 

[dearing5]

it isnt if you need to stop

 

[LAD VXL]

Why dont you just buy 256mm discs and calipers as they just bolt on no hassle.

Just grab them off a Cavalier as mentioned above. I'll likely do mine come MOT time and I'll just nick my brothers. He's scrapping a Cavalier SRi shell so he can transplant the Redtop into his Nova project (more on this as it happens) :thumbs_up:
