U will need 256mm disc and pads (obviously) to go in the calipers. I dont think u HAVE to get astra GTE discs, u can also get cavalier discs which r the same size. ;)
There is a guide on www.topbuzz.co.uk Look in the modifications section, then mechanical modifications, then look for 16v brake conversion. Everything u need to know is in there!
Hope this helps. tone

I'd buy new disks anyway mate.....not worth mucking about with second hand ones most of the time....don't know if they're warped etc.
I got second hand GTE disks but they ended up being slightly warped, so got new ones....even new, they were only ?18 each, so the larger ones can't be much more than that.
