[db_1.2]

WOH! Very nice! I rekon you paid ummmmm hold on what make are they?

[db_1.2]

Oh jags yeh sorry didnt read, about 400?

[rc]

they are bloody heavy, can just lift the both front disks together, had all disks and calipers in a box ond took two of us to lift it lol

the bloke before me payed 1400 quid for the discs and calipers and the calipers to be widened, so be bit realistic! still in the same condition as when they were that price!

[sri_boi]

obviously there going to be cheap.......wouldnt ask otherwise :p

[matt_mph]

God could just about fit me dinner on one of them lol.

?280

i cant start a thread so ill post here a relevant question, is it me or are the nova standard brakes terrible? does anyone know what astra sri/calibre/cav/vectra brakes are like on a nova? i need to know soon as i need to get sum for xmas

[craig green]

16v stuff is a good easy & effective upgrade.

V6 stuff will fit too with 15" rims & redrilling the discs to 4 stud.

Nova brakes are crap because the mastercylinder could do with being a tad bigger bore & its connected to the brake pedal from the opposite side of the car via a bar that sits behind the dash. I believe this loses lots of brake feel at the pedal.

So I have fitted a Corsa servo & MC in the battery tray.

14 inch discs!!! 355 mm very nice!!

need 18's to get them under though, my mates got 19 inch MO's with 6 pot ap's and 355's and there wasn't even space beetween the caliper and the wheel for the balancing weights, lol

very nice them dude!

in that boat already, im driving a laguna with 235/35 19s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jack]

18s aren't that bad, my Falkens set me back around ?300 fitted for a full set.

As said though, you'd probably need either some wide-spoked 18's, or step up to 19"...
