Hmm

I've always thought of bigger brakes,are they the exact measurements for them mate? Where's the best place to get them new or second hand?

Cheers

They are the exact measurement for the disc, which is what you go off. 1.6 stuff is mostly that size.

2.0 stuff should be left on 2.0 cars IMO, You get a poor pedal feel (I speak from experiance), I'd go for the 1.6 stuff, Your also have more wheel options in the future.

Cheap discs and GM pads and your be sorted.

You'll find some calipers second hand easily enough mate. Just give them a good clean and fresh coat of paint and they will be as good as new. No need to fork out for brand new/re conditioned ones really.

Ok nice Shaun

Are they called 1.6 calipers then?

So what you reckon,buy discs and pads off the Bay and get some second hand calipers either off here or the Bay?
