Slowing It Down

Hey guys, anyone out there found a good set of front brakes because mine are toss. First of all i have a 1.3sr. Lately I fitted GTE brakes which I thought would solve my worries. But they make little difference. I require something better. I've been told that cavalier SRi, Astra 16v or Astra GSI callipers+discs fit if u have a bigger than 13" wheel. Please help.

bigger than a vuaxhall sr three spoke alloy wheel!.

u could change the callipers for nova gsi/corsa sport/gsi etc. these would save the nova gte discs so u wouldnt have to spend as much but u cant beat the valaver stuff for touring car type brakes on a nova

Well i've seen a nova gsi with the same wheels as mine, so would these brakes fit in? I use 185/60 R14 tyres. So obviously 14" wheels!!

Yeah defo recommend 16v stuff.
astra gsi stuff best as have best pad shape (apparently)
i had 14" cav alloys and they just fitted the gsi calipers and courtenay disks...JUST.

Astra GSI 16v DEFINATELY, you need to have at least 14's prefferably 15's, callipers and discs. They will stop you quicker than cop at a cruise !! (mind you they are wank in the wet coz u just lock up all the fucking time)
