Ok i have a prob with brakes, there poor, i have a 1.4sr Hplate mk2, and also there front alloys are warm, expecialy one which in warm but nothing too bad, the other is just slightly warm hardly anything.

Is this the brakes binding or what? im going to take off the wheels and the pads and give them a good clean as the same with the drums, would this solve the problem, what would you do? Should i maybe get the astra 16v as it has 15' alloys as well?

Any help would be fantastic or pictures of the problem and how to solve it?!?!?!
thanks in advance

with ur current alloys nova gsi brakes are recomended, they work much better and wont bind!!!!

another choise is 16v rakes but u will need 15" alloys to get these to fit!!

I have 15' 195/55 so i was going to fit Astra 16v disks but i was told from a old machanic that these would cause problems in the wheel acel throught time as the axcel has to be re-bored. Thanks for all the relpys too!!!!!!!!!! ;)

first try your brake pipes as they are the easiest to fix and buy. i had the same prob on my car and this fixed it.
