astra brake sizes

[eggy]

Are the discs and calipers on the astra gte 8v the same size as the astra gte 16v?

[rgv_stu]

nope

[Dave]

the 16v brakes are bigger if you run these you'll have to have wheels no smaller than 14''

[mikeoxford]

the 16v brakes are 256mm diameter

unsure of the 8v - ill measure a set tomorow as the donor car for the 2ltr 8v project must have them i guess

16v discs are 24mm thick, think 8v r 20mm thick, i think??

but 16v are deff thicker
