Buy a new set of 2.0 brakes mate! I wouldnt risk owning a valver without at least these. Especially with your kid etc.

the v6's fit under some 15's... the v6's are great brakes... but the fact you have 15's may get in the way...

the 2.0 ones are quite good also....

get the calipers from a scrappy and buy some new disks and pads...

people often comment on them, when im on the motor way stuck in traffic you get the big beemers and stuff along side looking on this shitty looking corsa with buckets and a cage, then they look at the brakes and stare..... tis amusing

Astra 2.0 brakes that had covered 30,000 miles cost me £30 from the scrappy. Get it done, I didn't even need to replace the pads .
