Hi peeps,

My brakes on my 1400 SR are dying so i need to replace them. I have the special SR steelies (14 inch), look on my feature to see them if you're not sure.

Anway....

I want to get some bigger brakes, i know that you can get astra gte fronts on novas, but will i need bigger wheels? If i do, what would be best to get under the wheels i have at the moment as i cant afford alloys yet? I have been told there were two sizes of brakes on astras, 256mm and 236mm? Any ideas?

any help welcome cheers

V-Tuning do a 256mm kit (http://www.v-tuning.com/GM%2016V%20Brakes.htm) which they say you need minimum of 14" wheels for, so you should be ok.

they wont fit with new disks and pads afaik, however if u use old disks and pads they should fit just fine
