The disks look like a standard 256mm units. The only thing I dont like about grooved rotors is that they have a tendency to eat quite quickly thru the pads.

Below is a pic of Astra/Opel 256mm front brakes

Speaking if Goodridge braided brake lines, how did u go about getting them? Did u use the Astra GTE ones? How much did they set you back with the postage? Please post a US contact, if u have one. I have checked with the Goodridge USA before, and they told me I'd have to buy from UK.

Cheers!

I simply bought them from UK. It wasn't too bad at all. I think they ended up costing me about $35 total.

Which steel brake lines are you using. From the Astra...? Which distributor did you get them from, what's the part number?

I sound like the Spanish Inquisition.

Hi there, can you please tell me what is the model for the EBC Green Stuff pads? I have an Aveo and wish to get better pads for it. The calipers and pad on my car look identical to yours. Thanks in advance. :)
