GSi GTE front brakes

[Metromartin]

Hi all

Just woundering are the GTE and GSi brakes different to standard novas?

TIA

[Ste_Nova]

same size.... but thicker and vented

[Metromartin]

ahh, so you would need the GTE wider calipers to fit nova vented disks,

thanks

[Snowface]

yes, different calipers.

If ur going for bigger brakes, the GTE's arn't much better at all.

Go for 2.0 16v's, they fit under 5.5j 14's and above.

hi,

What Vauxhall cars and models have these brakes, all 2.0 16v's?

thanks

[Snowface]

most 2.0 8v/16v cavaliers , 2.0 astra's have em.

they are 256mm ATE calipers/disc's.

Do you have to change anything else like the master cylinder? or is it just a straight swap?

[Snowface]

straight swap.

[johnny27]

Are the discs or calipers stamped 256mm ATE or something to identify them? Thanks.
