Right I've got a corsa redtop I'm needing some new discs and pads when I did the conversion I tool everything off a 1.6 astra that had the conversion done I.e breaks so I'm mot sure if the breaks I put on my corsa are off the astra or if there were replaced with the proper breaks for Tue engine is there anyway of yelling what barks I have without taking discs and pads to a shop and comparing as if I do this and the shop have to order them in I am stuck without a car for a couple of days
Cheers

1.6 brakes are 265 x 20 and i think 2.0 ones are 256 x 24 iirc
4mm wider, cant actually see 2.0l being any better tbh

well in that case i have 2.0l ones on my 1600 sport....
the lad who sold me the car said they were 'GSI' calipers but didn't sound sure about it and knew very little about the car

Calipers are alot bigger though for the 2.0 brakes against the 1.6.
They are noticeably better.
