thanks i think u've convinced me to get astra 16v brakes and try myself, think ill get decent disks and pads from the scrappy aswell? how much should i pay for them?

hmm, sounds complicated, i was hoping to be able to figure out how to replace the disks and pads myself, never done it before.

how easy is it to replace calipers?
