Current front brake pads on my Corsa b have only got about another 1000 or so miles before they're dust so thought I'd upgrade and get better braking performance seeing as I have to replace them anyway.

Looked at Black Diamond ones - http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/Brake-Pads-c-2709/ but just wondered if anyone recommends anything better for a similar, if not cheaper, price?

depends how much of an upgrade you are after?
will be slightly better than standard but a disc size upgrade would be better still.

Nothing too expensive, did have a look at the black diamond discs but don't seem worth it.

Guessing discs off an Astra would fit and improve performance?

Would Saab 93 Calipers with modified discs for an MK3 Astra GSI fit on a Corsa B?

Saab calipers and discs are the same as vectra b really so if you feel the need to upgrade then go with the vectra b and redrill the discs.stay with the 256mm cav/astra set up personally.

Yeah the guy selling them was a bit funny about whether they'd fit a Corsa so I didn't bother with him
