does anyone know if it's worth changing my corsa 1.6 16v brakes for 2.0 16v brakes off a calibra? are they any bigger/better?
also could i put the rear brakes discs off a calibra onto my corsa?

same diameter, but wider and the calipers are a lot better. very good upgrade. as for the rears, its nowhere near as straight forward, it involves welding.

i don't think this one has it's only a 2.0 16v. i've only really seen the outside of it and it's pretty much standard.
i'm getting the car real cheap so i've decided to re-con the engine, get any extra bits off it and then scrap it

Calibra gauges will physically fit the Corsa as I have a Calibra dash in mine, might be a job to wire up and get working though.

U dont need to actaully weld really. WE only welded over the original hub holes just to fill the gap and strengthen it a little bit.
