like swaping over 1.2 ones

if you have the bracket that the caliper bolts on with its a straight swap mate but you'll need bigger wheels if your running 13's from what i can remember, i put 2.0 16v ones on mine years ago and needed a 14 inch wheel minimum good luck

[BIGS]

not for 13s, they fit fine under them. 16v ones then yes

im running, astra mk3 diesal calipers and pads etc, and the pads are the same as gsi ones, so not sure if calipers are the same, if so then you need 14" wheels and 5.5j minimum, i had 5j and we had to do a bit of shaving of caliper.

good luck

they are a straight swap. but make sure your back brakes are in 100% perfect condition, cos its the rear brakes that cause 99% of nova braking trouble.. the self adjusters simply do not work

Excellent,thanks guys.Back brakes have just been redone so working ok at the moment they'll be next for upgrade though.Its got 15" rims on it anyway.
