on the mk3 astra they did a 236mm ate caliper that fitted with the nova gte sized vented disc. it stops quite well & you don't have the delco caliper problems with the sliders locking up & the pads jamming.

The spring clip is VERY needed. Its amazing how much difference that makes lol
And ive got very worn pads in my turbo calipers atm with fiat coupe discs. There fine, not spaced out or anything.
Yeah, you wouldn't think it would make that much difference! I would imagine if left the caliper would shear the mounting bolts.Quote:

I've got corsa brakes with £8 budget pads, and they have taken a lot of beating, think I've only had brake fade once!! So good pads would be great!
cheers for the ideas people i now have a wide selection of brakes available to me lol :)
tigras had 256 by 20mm discs, whereas most 256's are 24mm. I've heard that they fit fine under the 5j 3 spokes.
that might be a place to look, big brakes small discs, will the fittings be the same?
yep, same as corsa sport 1.6 ones. fit under 3 spokes. just.
