wow mines caribic blue aswell and im sure its got an extra 20bhp over other GSI's!!  Go for some 2lt 16v brakes and calipers mate, between 50-100 notes from a scrappy and they're direct replacements

hmm, sounds complicated, i was hoping to be able to figure out how to replace the disks and pads myself, never done it before.
how easy is it to replace calipers?

u can do discs and pads easy, just use a haynes manual, but changing ur caliper isnt hard eather. just follow the haynes and make sure u get the calipers the correct way up, worth swopping to the astra 16v brakes if u can find some(easy enuff to find!) if u have 15's or biger wheels try a set of v6 calipers and discs, better stopping power, bit more expencive tho!
