just to explain my decision lol
Had 1144s on my Gold VTR and didnt rate them highly
Switched to 1144s on the silver track saxo and they were awesome on track, that was coupled with 406 Brembos mind you though

Right what is the VXR caliper used when using the 308mm disc on the Astra GSi. It's Mot time so trying to order them now. Hope it makes sense

Aaaarrrggghhh. Right I have 308mm discs with vxr calipers. A place somone suggested wants to know what vxr caliper it is so that I can order the right brake pad. Or if anyone has part numbers that would be great. Would like mintex but no-one seems to sell them so next are the greenstuff ones. Need to order them by end of play today ideally.

If your getting Mintex use these guys http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-detail.asp?PAGE=/mintex-brake-pads.htm
I cant recommend them enough on service and price, much better than tweeks.
