No when you get some alloys go for 2.0l 16v astra GTE brakes! Unlike me who has to sacrifice to GSI corsa brakes!

I didn't think 1.2i brakes were that bad when i had them on mine.
Even with old discs and pads, they worked ok.
They were the newer type tho(ate calipers)

ate calipers? whats the difference??? SORRY FOR HI-JACKING!

Early ones were delco, ****e things with two pins through that hold the pins. They had a habit of seizing every 10mins lol

ATE are the same as 2L brakes, with the two part caliper/bracket, and a spring retainer.
