    Default brake upgrade

    easy now

    i need new discs and pads on my 1.2, iv looked at few different makes, i dont know how much replacement ones are from vaux, but is it worth the extra money to get a set of ebc pads and discs for example, or will it make no difference???

    and does anyone know how much a new cv joint is from vaux? dont think mine is gonna last much longer

    unless its 16v's dont even think about replacing the pads

    drive to your local scrapyard

    find a 2.0 cav remove calipers

    drive to your local motorfactors - purchase 2.0 cav disks and 2.0 cav pads

    fit

    tbh getting the disks from the scrappy aint worth it

    they'll prolly charge you 10-20 quid for em and they could be warped etc

    just buy new ones
