brake upgrade????

Post by badboy84 »

ok im pretty new to corsa's, and im sure its been asked sooooo many times,

but hell ill ask anyway :D,
its a corsa 1.2 8v 1997,

and im in the next month or so im planning on dropping in a 2.0 8v,

now i know ill have to ugrade my brakes, and right now the im needing new pads for the standard 1.2 calipers,

so instead of replacing the 1.2 calipers with new padsi fot i mite aswell just get bigger brakes sooooo which calipers would be an ideal upgrade? and that will bolt straight on?

was looking at a set of corsa c sri 1.8 front calipers???????????????????????? will they fit ok????????????????

, any help would be brilliant thanks :D:D

get 2.0 calibra/cavalier calipers, carriers, discs and pads, i got myself some 2.0 calipers just need to get discs and pads. you cant use your original brakes as there smaller than the 2.0 ones.

oh plus i'l just say they're a direct swap so you wont have to worry about brake pipes not being long enough orr having to make carrier adaptor plates or anything. :)
