256x20mm IIRC.

2.0 16v spec (ATE calipers) are 256x24mm

IIRC? So the discs are the same size?!

Same diameter, different thickness.

Actually, what year and model is your car? 1.6 16v\'s had 256x20mm - others had 236x20mm.

No wonder the streering wheel wobles everytime i brake from 120mph! Have to upgrade to astra GTE then!

That\'s nothing to do with the size of discs, that could be down to your brakes generally being f**k.

Na, just replaced the disc\'s and pads

That doesn\'t mean there\'s nothing wrong with them.
