What 1.2 corsa do you have? There are 8v and 16v versions. Bigger brakes are always a good idea, get them done asap.

Less than £100 to buy. Can get second hand calipers for around £30 and new discs for around £50. Maybe new pads as well which may be £20 to buy.

I got v6 brakes when I had the 1.2 and you notice a huge difference!

Perfect for the xe now. You want to be able to stop well enough with the new engine brakes aren't a thing to forget about IMO

Got mine off Fazza for £60 with brand new disks and pads
