mornin folks, just wonderin what peoples opinions are regarding replacement front disks. wether to go for some off another vuaxhall (2l probably) which i think are plain, or maybe grooved and/or drilled. have been lookin atthe black diamond range but aint sure of the best direction to go in. my mate had drilled n grooved ebc disks with green stuff pads but said they were sticky when cold, n the noise they made would annoy the hell outta me. '00 1.6 sport by the way, cheers guys

fit some 2 litre calipers, either brembo max or standard GM discs with some mintex 1144 pads.

I used that combination and it was exellent

i would get standard mintex discs and 1144 pads.

gsi discs are bigger so dont think they will fit the standard caliper.
