	can i ave all the prices of the pads?

	Greenstuff pads aren't that brilliant, and OEM GM discs are less prone to warping I believe... :o

	astra gte calipers work very well. peace of piss to fit drilled and grooved discs could get whole setup for just shy of £100

	astra gsi = 2.0 brakes = 256 by 24 best bet is pair of s/h callipers (i have 2 sets spare (£30 pair) then personally id get std vaux discs and pads £52 plus vat

They work well, but you get a bit more pedal travel due to the larger caliper piston. The cost is around £215 from LMF. That includes everything you need to fit them, fitting is really easy. just a straight swap. I'm not sure if the master cylinder on a 1.2 is the same as a 1.6. If not you may have more pedal travel and a weak brake. Not sure though so don't count on that.

	ok. was gonna say you dont need v6 brakes on a 1.2 8v. just stick your foot out of the door and stamp it down onto the floor :thumbs:

	What is the cheapest and easiest way to upgrade my brakes? Should i go get some V6 discs, pads, calipers of a vectra then buy EBC Greenstuff pads or something? what do you recommend. i want them to look big aswell because of my alloys
