Dont bother keeping the 1.2 calipers. They disks are solid and are generally poop.

Get the Astra brakes with 256mm * 24mm disks.

EDIT: Dont bother with the Astra 8v GTE brakes. Astra 16v GTE or Astra GSi/Cav SRi/GSi/Calibra 16v etc.

one question i wana know is...........
whats biggest i cant fit with my standard calipers?

also if i fit gte/gsi calipers whats biggest i can fit with them?

been lookin at prices in mags today.

il think bout it james had 2 offers now from ppl includin u

icy if you get GTE calipers i have some EBC turbo grooved disks and EBC greenstuff pads all still boxed and sealed never used i payed 160 quid you can have em for 100 plus p+p lemme know if ya interested mate,

JW

best pads are vaux ones with uprated discs, go for a 2l 16v setup, the turbo v6 ones are too good and can be dangerous.

mine will hav astra gsi brakes (disks and calipers and ebc greenstuff pads) Just waiting for kenny2many to post them to me when he gets my cheque.
Let u all know how i get on when i fit them!

I think V-tuning do the V6 setup for £200, but u need braided hoses as well. Good idea if ur planning an engine swap later ;)

V6 is just over-braking on a 1.2!!!

Go to a breakers and rip the calipers and discs off a GTE/GSi or even Cav SRi then just buy some new pads for them.

i seen the v6 kit £400 :!
not lookin to spend that much

GSI or GTE, either will do

have a look on pvd & needforspeed.co.uk for an idear on disc & pad prices

much my lookin at for 256mm?
gte calipers? bout astra gsi ones?

as gambit said icy. u wont be dissapointed :)

get the gte calipers of Mig for about £40

then get 256mm discs & a decent set of pads

dont get grooved disc's unless you wanna be replacing ur brake pads every 3mths

get cross drilled instead

mmmmmm

im not saying i use then its just that theve kept me out of trouble on occaisons!

* kenny then proceeds to take a spade and dig himself an even bigger hole *

how big r they brakes mav?
same as urs?
get some prices then :D cheers

:P@kenny
didnt know ur female :P

ive found the best pads are the bodyform track use ones.

keeps you out of the sh1t if you know what it mean

Can't remember but not that dear like......My bro in law does brakes at his garage..
