Is this brake kit any good?

[Rysee]

I have a 1200 8v but my brakes are rubbish, is it worth going 2.0 and if so are these any good? i know ill need to find some callipers, there's a Calibra red top in a local scrappy.


Thanks all

Its ok from what i remember reading on here, Most people (inc me) will say Genuine GM pads and whatever discs you fancy.

Have a search too, see what you find.

How much are geniune pads from Vauxhall?

They'll be perfectly fine on a 1.2 unless you go banzai braking everywhere. I had cheaper items on my 1.4SR and they worked brilliantly, in a face-meets-windscreen way!

and they're awesome, very positive and twice as sharp as the ebc setup ive currently got.
