My rally car's brakes are from a Cavalier TD - vented and larger and they are a big improvement on standard!

main thing is to get a 2 piece caliper rather than the pin type, much better to maintain etc. Chances are they'll be bigger too.

I might have some 256 calipers lying around if you get stuck.

John H had/has some 2L calipers for sale too. Only wants a tenner for them iirc.

The ones I used were two piece - so much easier for changing pads etc !
