U2U Tomas - he supplies a lot of the people on here with their braided lines, including me. Are between 35 and 40 quid for all four IIRC

I just got the capilers from scrappy. got new discs and pads, they weren't expensive and it's better when new! depending on the condition of the scrappy stuff!

Vauxhall don't sell brake service kits anymore because idiots fit them incorrectly leading to brake failure. They will only sell you complete caliper sets. You can get the service kits from Autovaux though...

Less sponginess, more braking power as the lines don't expand like standard ones...

Yup, discs pads and calipers.
Get new braided brake lines on as well while the wheel's off.

What do I need to upgrade my brakes to 2.0 16v brakes off a Calibra? Just the discs, pads and calipers? Anything else?
Seen one down the scrap yard that I fancy having the brakes off so wanna make sure I get all the parts I need. Presume you just take the old calipers, pads and discs off and put the new ones on and thats it?:)
