To my knowledge the next "better" brake upgrade is about £1k, and a bit of overkill on a 1.2  .

Well he does say that he's putting a SRi lump in at some point - but depends if its a 1.4 or 1.8 lol.
But it jst seems pointless buying slightly improved brakes for £150 or so when the standard SXi ones are pretty good as it is!

hamman, you'll probably find that you have the newer vented discs along with abs.
old sxi's relied on solid discs along with no abs, they can become pretty shocking.
