If your putting a bigger engine in then it would be better to put a 2.0 16v setup off and Astra/Cavalier or Calibra on

id hope they would be vented for £150 but they wont make any difference as they will be the same diameter as your old discs anyway, they just look nice

no point upgrading the discs on standard 1.2 items the piston sizes inside the calipers are too small for 2ltr power range.
Need either 2ltr setup or the V6 setup if your wanting the conversion

I still think a 2.0 set up would be better for stopping power and cheaper to buy. Also fill the wheels more

2ltr brake setup is ideal for the 1600

Calipers, Discs and Hangers off most 2 litre astra's and calibras will fit. Do a search and you will find loads of info.

Think what people are getting at are you've spent £150 on new parts for piss poor brakes!

You might as well of saved money and got a 2 litre set-up or an extra £65 and get a V6 set up.

Overall, IMO, not £150 well spent!
