Been after some better brakes for some time and ended up searching ebay as got desperate...

Last night I won these.....

2.0 16v Brake Set Up

Now I've just added these to the collection:

Grooved Disc's

What pads should I go for, some uprated ones or just standard pads?



What are 2.0 brakes like on the corsa?

Got a link for somewhere to buy these DS2500's Broster?..

Or atleast look and compare to a few others, adviced buying uprated pads over standard GM ones with those discs then?

standard GM ones are cheap, and they would be fine really, ive never had problems with them. the ds2500s are a lot of money iirc

braided hoses improve pedal feel as they do not expand like rubber ones.
