Mike,

I'm running one of our Vaux-MD Vactra V6 kits on my standard GTE servo and cylinder, works great.

PeteG was running our standard Cav 2Ltr kit with 256mm discs on a "c" plate SR and was also very happy with the pedal action.

What astra estate? not me im affraid, Will was selling out of an astra hatchback, my car was discreetly placed in the car park away from any unwanted attention! :lol:

perhaps it was a hatch (thinking about it) my mistake :lol:

and the novaload stand was in the same carpark also! didnt see many other stand cars with nova parts scattered around as far as the eye could see though :D

I got the Astra 16v brakes to well calipers but they were better on me 1.2 than me 1.4 but i think thats cuz they were sitting for a year b4 i put them back on me car i think that they might need strippin and things re placing is that easy on the AStra brakes and how much wud a kit cost new pistons seals etc.

What servo cud i use for better stoppin power and are they easy to do i dnt know much about brakes other than takin callipers off lol

nope no one saw my car, (it took me nearly half an hour to find it)
It was in the car park as it wasnt allowed on the stand due to it being a VW!
