I've recently been working on a c20let conversion and bought a whole bundle in one go, and in the pack where discs pads and calipers all on a wishbone ready to bolt on, the only thing is I don't know what they're off, as I can still run 13" wheels on it but these discs seem a bit bigger but they're a lot thicker and vented and was wondering if it's off a nova as one came with vented discs or maybe a corsa or something

(Note the brighter shinier parts are pcd adapters)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

would guess at Corsa ATE's if your running 13" wheels would guess 236 diameter discs.

Not sure they are man enough for a c20let, I run these on my 1.3 nova's!

Oh I know they're not enough you have to almost stand on the pedal to stop :/ will try to pull off the wheels and have a look at part numbers on my day off, but tonight my mind just went ping look up what brakes could be on it

if there slightly bigger in size, and thicker than your original ones, they might be 20 x 256, or even 24 x 256
your running crazy wheels, with hub adapters, so its possible the larger 256 items might fit under what you have.

do they have 48/20, or 52/24 stamped into front face of the caliper ?

measure the thickness of the disc, to see if its around 20mm, or 24mm
and measure the disc from end to end, see if its either 236mm, or 256mm

what are you upto exactly ? ... just upgrading the brakes ?

you shouldnt have needed to switch the suspension arms and hubs over with them, the brakes should have transfered across ok

Chances are they are man enough, you just need proper pads lol

These arms had plates already welded to them to reinforce it with the brakes and extras already attached, and I'm after a bit better braking as don't want to find out the hard way that the brakes aren't good enough
