got standard brakes on my corsa gsi with 256x20 discs on them, the discs and pads need changing and i was wondering if while i was doing that it would be worth putting on a set of 2.0 ATE calipers i have that use the 256x24 disc?

am I right in thinking the brakes wouldnt be much if any better but they would cool better so wouldnt fade as fast?

also deciding what pads to buy, pads coming out are red stuff and I found them to be good, unlike grenstuff pads i've had before, but i've also used mintex in the past and might use them again, cant remember if it was 1144 or 1155s I had though :roll: got gm pads here but would like something a bit better, any recommendations?

finally, i've always just used normal discs, is it worth the extra money for drilled and grooved?

cheers :thumb:

Marginal improvement in cooling but nothing to really notice.

I'd go with 1155's or Carbon Loraine CL5+'s
