I have a 1.0 Corsa B. Want the brakes to look a bit bigger behind my wheels. does the whole disc and caliper need changing?
Also what would be a good pad and disc just to put on standard size.

the 2.0 ones wont look all that bigger behind your wheels... v6's are your friend... bit silly for a 1.0 but they'll 'look' nice...

Don't get V6's. Too much hassle.

yeah the 2.0 brakes are only 20mm larger in diameter over standard items, you wont really notice a difference in size. V6 will be your way to go, or if you have money to waste, look at big brake conversions from someone like Tar'ox or Wilwood

Big, heavy, don't fit properly behind sensibly sized wheels, can't put a spare on if you get a flat, need spiggot rings, need to use drilled out disks, pain in the arse to put the wheels on in a dark car park at 10pm after trax, big, heavy.

mine fit behind my 15" et49 wheels no problem! big... thatst he point, heavy, not much that can be said. i have no spigot rings on mine, they wernt needed, discs wernt drilled mine come in 4 stud fitment from black diamond. cant put a spare over most aftermarket front brakes, carry tyre weld or get aa cver, or a spare that will fit!
