Would Saab 93 Calipers with modified discs for an MK3 Astra GSI fit on a Corsa B?


Saab calipers and discs are the same as vectra b really so if you feel the need to upgrade then go with the vectra b and redrill the discs.stay with the 256mm cav/astra set up personally.


Yeah the guy selling them was a bit funny about whether they'd fit a Corsa so I didn't bother with him

will be slightly better than standard but a disc size upgrade would be better still.


Nothing too expensive, did have a look at the black diamond discs but don't seem worth it.

Guessing discs off an Astra would fit and improve performance?

Current front brake pads on my Corsa b have only got about another 1000 or so miles before they're dust so thought I'd upgrade and get better braking performance seeing as I have to replace them anyway.

Looked at Black Diamond ones - http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/Brake-Pads-c-2709/ but just wondered if anyone recommends anything better for a similar, if not cheaper, price?
