Astra 2.0 16v Ideally (256x24mm Vented Discs)

The same brakes are used on the Cavalier & Calibra 2.0 16v models too

Calipers, Carriers & Discs would be needed

14" Vauxhall Alloys at a minimum to clear

Astra F (Mk3)

92-97 IIRC?



Corsa Cylinder should be sufficient - whilst the calipers are disconnected, it is worth fitting Braided Brake Lines with the rest of the kit too
