i got a 1.4 sport and brought tarox disc, drilled and grooved with EBC green stuff brakes...................waste of money IMO, only good thing was the pads don't have brake dust. | |

do you know anything about the EBC set up with the GREEN STUFF pads that won that award or something they are in most cars mags as an advert.....how do they compare to the black diamond disks and mintesx pads | |

if you drive a 1.6 sport then you already have 256 x 20mm brake setup, astra gte is 256 x 24mm | |

If you like, but dont use GM pads, they were designed for GM discs and will eat away quickly. | |

what do you suggest then astra GTE callipers and then some cross drilled disks | |

no point going for grooved, as you have no real need for grooved disc's and they will just eat brake pads like they are going out of fashion. | |

It would be cheaper to buy astra GTE callipers and VAUXHALL pads n discs then it would to buy these black diamond discs. The astra GTE callipers will give for better breaking. | |

I would stick with GTE discs and calipers.Much cheaper and good enough to stop you on your nose. | |

if u get astra disks then they are the same diameter (256mm) but are wider (1.6 sport is 20mm, astra 24mm), astras come with better calipers anyway | |

astra set up is very similar to 1.6 sport anyway so IO wouldn't bother. just get some drilled and grooved disks with decent pads. | |

Id get an Astra setup on there. | |

EBC/black diamond disks are popular and also get vauxhall pads as the performance pads r not worth the money | |
