 i remember this.
sorry i was actually being serious..
im sure that gsi brakes will stop you from speeds that a gsi will do.. 100 - 115mph.
but then you gotta take enigne weight into consideration.
etc etc.
id just get a cav setup or astra setup.

They will stop you if you drive slowly, however if you are caning it alot expect to get major brake fade.
brake fade = not stopping = new underpants needed = crash.
I have experienced brake fade before on my old nova, hence i have 2.0 16v brakes on my corsa.

Silly question!! Its like the old will my 10" sub be loud...
Yes you will stop, not as well as 2.0 16v ATE's, not as good as V6, not as good as 4pots, not as good as 4pots with uprated m/cylinder....

why's that then? virtually all 90's Vauxhalls use the same knuckle/hub arrangement i.e Nova's, Corsa's, Cav's, Cally's, Astra2/3 & Veccy's all have interchangeable calipers/discs

Ya have to push like a bitch to get the piston back into the caliper, it will go, dont do it when its connected to the brake system, pushing fluid backwards through the brake system is bad, can damage the seals in the mastercylinder/servo, keep at it and good luck

You need cav/astra 2ltr 16v calipers and discs, 256mmx56mm I think the dimensions are, if you can afford it go for the Veccy V6 upgrade
