Valver Brakes???

I know alot of people do this, but is it as easy as just swaping the discs?

my 1.2 8v does not have vented disc\'s most engines up have vented, bit curious if this will affect it?

want to fill that big hole behind me alloys

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Nope, no hub needed! Dunno if your on about 16v corsa brakes or XE 16v brakes, if your on about the corsa brakes then there poo lol

BUT if your on about XE valver brakes then there class, i got a set of ventailated disks and calipers with greenstuff pads for only Â£50

Straight swap, change the brake fluid while your down there n then your away!

get some of these big bad boys (note rear discs)

Basically for the 16v brakes, go to a scrappy find an astar gte/gsi or cav gsi take calipers discs and pads, id get new discs and pads too tho.

unbolt old crap brakes refit new cooler brakes, bleed system and drive away!

Ye dats the great thing about VX\'s! Just go down to your local scrappy, my fav being pea\'s pottage, find a astra gte or such like and its a straight swap!
