brakes

[Mike.]

theres probably a post like this around some where but i need to know. i've got 14 inch revolution rfx wheels and i really need to upgrade my brakes, i wa thinking nova gsi brakes as a better up grade

any other ideas because i can get them from work quite cheeply

[epo]

if 2.0 cav brakes wont which i think they might then get cav 1.8 iirc then there slightly smaller than cav 2.0 ones

cav brakes
i was thionking about astra GTE or gsi brakes

[Aragorn]

the GTE16v/gsi stuff is the same as cav 2.0 (apart from a slight different piston size)

the key thing is will my wheels fit lol

[epo]

2.0 brakes fit on 14" steelies iirc but not the gsi wheels (altho the discs might have to be worn down a little i think)
so 1.8 cav ones should be slightly smaller so should deffo fit

i was after these wheels a while back and found out that RFX 2's deffo fit over the brakes but RFX1's might/might not fit.

you may have to take the grinder to the caliper to get some clearence if you are running the orginal wheels

[Aragorn]

they fit over the astra gte aloys which are 14" by 5.5" wide

if they RFX1's are at least that big u should be alright
