hi all...im wanting to upgrade the brakes on my 1.0L 12v,is it just a matter of taking the calipers,pads and discs from a larger engined car, i was thinking of using 2.0L vectra stuff. any thoughts on the subject would be of great help.
thanks

the vectra set up is five stud is it not?
just get the set up off a caliber 16v or turbo if u got 16icnh wheels or bigger and would just be a stright swap.

Biggest stuff you can ft under 14s will be the GSi stuff, no need to change brake pipes but some new copper washers are a good idea for the back of the caliper after you have disconnected the brake pipe

What size are corsa GSI rims? 14's i believe.
because you can fit 2.0 brakes behind them...as thats what my mates running!
