looking @ these, not sure what posh name brake discs sell for but apparently this guys stuff is good, few mates have got them and they're great, just wondering if any corsa guys have some from him?

was thinking of ate 256mm stuff but not sure of the plan with alloys, not got ABS and a couple of mechanic mates reckon they might be a bit snatchy and lock up a lot with 14's? i dunno though i'm no expert lol..

No, it'll be fine.
I had 288mm ones, they never locked up unless you stood on the pedal.
You just need to know how hard to brake.

this is a proper motorsport company though and their feedback looks pretty impressive for 4000+ deals (just had a nosey)...
still cant make me mind up as i might be sticking with 14's and i dont want spacers so 2.0 16v brakes clear lol
