right well i dont know much so ill ask all my questions and hope people are kind

ok i have a 1.2 8v heap thing, the brakes are poo, so im wondering about changing the disks and calipers and pads, or just pads...

How much different would the GSi disks be to the ones that are standard on my corsa at the moment and would they be easy to fit?
erm think thats it but if you think i should know anything else then please tell me

thanks!

Get urself on www.migweb.co.uk, or get down to a scrappers, and get urself a set of ATE 16v calipers.

Go and buy urself some discs and pads (OE spec are more than good enuff), and fit the whole lot.

U'll be very suprized at how quick these brakes will stop u.

no bigger master cyclinder needed

hwoever the pedal may feel spongyer than normal but this is helped lots by adding braided hoses.
