im not sure, as you have to make sure they're a decent make so when they are stuck in and you put the tool on to remove them you dont brake the tool :lol: but here you go, these are what my mate has on his they're proper vauxhall and really strong to, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vauxhall-genuine- ... 719wt_1137

Ok I've just got the front brake disc and pads changed, oil and oil filter changed. added a K&N Panel filter and de-restrcited the airbox form the top only. might drill it later on. Also a new head unit from Halfords for £79.99 with bluetooth, USB & MP3 compatibility. Only thing is poor service from staff as they couldnt fit it today so I had to do it myself. Done a Fair job but not the best lol as the right door speaker doesnt work.

Going to Paint the caliper and drums next. And soon fit the locking nuts when they arrive.

the brake disc and pads as a package was £33.99 from eBay and they do the part honestly. Work just as good as before.

Sounds the same honestly. But better airflow than before, because old one was dirty as f**K
