GSi brakes

[NovaBoi92]

i have gsi 3 spokes on the nova, and ive been told that astra 16v brakes etc won't fit under. i dont really fancy griding bits off the brakes to make them fit under the wheels, so would fitting nova gsi/gte brakes show me any improvement?

[AlexW]

No, fit tigra/corsa 1.6 ones.

[NovaBoi92]

and they will fit straight under my wheels and how much better will they be than standard?

[AlexW]

should fit straight on, might be a bit tight, i plan to see with mine soon.

and they will stop it a lot better than the 236mm brakes, tigra ones are 256x20mm.

[NovaBoi92]

arent astra 16v brakes 256mm ones aswell though? and what you mean by tight, will it catch the rim at all?

[let_nova]

yes. usually just the casting marks need to be taken off

[NovaBoi92]

yes. usually just the casting marks need to be taken off

what are the casting marks? are they on the caliper? and how would i take them off

[AlexW]

2.0 ones are 256x24mm.

And he means like the texture.

[NovaBoi92]

well, if they dont fit, how would you get rid of the texture? could it be filed/sanded off or would you need to get a grinder to it

[AlexW]

Grinder.

Il check my brakes tomorrow, or tuesday, or wednesday, or il forget.

[Balley]

File will do though bud, that 4 mm will just be enough though!
My 14s did not rub on the 256x24mm at all though but I think it depends!

[AlexW]

Depends on the wheels ^, 3spokes Will need the calipers trimming for 2.0 items.

[NovaBoi92]

so the corsa/tigra 1.6 are the same, and they are a straight swap?

[AlexW]

Straight swap, depends what you mean by the same? get on msn
