if you really want to improve brake performance then fit uprated calipers with the matching discs and pads. If you don't want to do this the standard Vauxhall stuff is OK.

Fitting uprated discs and pads does little to improve brake performance IMHO

Mintex 1144 pads

Grooved discs, Brembo Maxi disc seem the REAL budget choice.

Upsize the discs/calipers top either 2.0L ATE or the Vectra 288mm calipers/discs but you'll need them re-drilling.

Or a fancy set of 4pots, whats your budget?

my budget is around 150-200. i have heard that v6 brakes weigh a ton though and i only have a tiny engine at the moment (looking for a 1.6 engine around september)

thanks for the pic broster, this may sway my decision! are you running 15s?

although i am interested in corb's 16v brakes that i think he is selling for £50 plus shipping so i can't go wrong at that price
