It all depends on your wheels. If you've got 15s you can get the astra GSI calipers and discs. You should be able to get them for around ?100, fittings pretty easy as theres plenty of guides available. There's a guy on novatrader breaking an Astra GSI at the mo. Give him a shout.

I've got them on my 1.4sr and they stop me bloody quickly.

You could also use the larger breaks off of a MKII Cavalier SRi 130 (10.1inch), which are the same as those on the Astra GTE/GTE 16V, as apposed to the 9.3 inch ones on the Nova GTE.

The Cav ones may be easier to find, and probably cheaper - go to a scrappy, and say they're off a MKII Cav, and they probably won't know the difference, so will sell them to you for ?10 per calliper, and ?10 a disk, or ?30 to lot.......a mate of mine did this!

Remember to strip them before fitting, if you go for second hand - to remove any crap inside the cylinder, that could cause the piston the seize, and re-grease the slider pistons - or fit repair kits.
