I have got some brand new EBC discs & pads to fit a Nova GSi. BUT I have Astra 16v calipers.

The pads I know I have to change, but will the discs fit? or are Astra ones bigger?
(They have to stop a valver!)

Hold on a minute...

I already have 16v calipers on the car, so if the discs are smaller for a GSi then surely they should still fit ??
I can see you u gotta change the pads, but not the discs if they fit in the caliper.
Explain to me why please ?
Thanks.
