Standard pads are supposed to be spot on with uprated discs. Just get some new ones from Vauxhall.

Yea that'll be my next job now inc the drum!
Tho the new discs seem to be rubbing on parts of the caliper and not scoring, but theres like a rubbed part on parts of the disc, any thoughts or is this normal as their braking in!?!?

Calipers are 2LT calibra and the discs are also 2LT calibra but these are on my corsa now.
Im just wondering if ive over tightened the caliper??

Well just generally as it seems the caliper is rubbing on the disc maybe, so if iv'e over tightened them, maybe that's causing them to slightly rub??
See if i can take any decent photos of what i mean later.

Ah it was pretty straight forward, just fiddly at times, corsa's never really seem to be symetrical so the driver side was abit more fiddly than the passenger side 
Well fingers cross hopefully they won't crack! But will keep an eye on them though, cheers for the advice

Ahh right, cool.
I thought youd fitted 2L discs with Corsa gsi/sport calipers.
