Upgrading the brakes on the Corsa C 1.2 SXI. I am mainly interested in doing this for looks more then anything.
I have been asking around and have come to the conclusion that my only option is to use the callipers/discs/ pads from the 1.4 Corsa C Sri 260mm vented.
Is this the best option or can i use brakes from another vauxhall?

the corsa C 1.8 has very big brakes but the only problem i can think of is the fact that they have ABS, will this affect me fitting them cos my car doesnt have it??

think he meant rotor discs.
The discs wi the jagged edges that look like a ninja star.

so it that case it should be possible to fit the brake caliper/discs/pads from the SRI 1.8 without a hitch?

yes - be expensive thou you need to buy disks and pads and calipers - be hard to get second hand prob have to get em from vaux - wont be cheap - as kristd said dunt matter bout abs as the sensor usually mounted to the suspension strut
