Brake Discs And Pads What Do I Need?

Post by CosmicWazza »

Hey i have a corsa b 1.0 sting 3dr 1997 p reg and need some new brakes :( but rather than going for the standard vauxhall ones i would like an after market set any ideas as haven't got a clue eg dimensions, size, what do i need to look for to make sure they fit? also good brands i was looking at brembo max, tarox, red dot and ebc any advice would be appreciated many thanks.

Get your self up the scrap yard and find a 2ltr cav/astra gsi (plenty of potential donar vauxhalls sat around) just take the disks and callipers off that, should go strait on your corsa! there isnt really any point spending massive amounts on brembos or the others when you can just do that, especially on a 1L, You can always get different disks if you wanna look real flash, just remember to take down the make and year of the car youve taken the brakes off.
What ever i'll buy, it'll be a GSi
