My astra coupe is getting to the point of needing a new exhaust. Can anyone recommend any after market exhausts or a place around north wales/Cheshire are who fit custom exhausts?

I need to replace the rear pads on my astra coupe. I take it the rear callipers will require the pistons winding back in?
If so can anyone recommend a tool/kit to purchase as I do not have anything suitable?

Are you supposed to get four retaining bolts for the guides or two?
If two are you supposed to re use two of the old ones? Which position would you used the new and old bolts?
Thanks
What grade oil would people recommend for the 2.2 Z22SE with around 100000 mile on the clock?
Any particular make of oil recommended?
Also the same question for the coolant?
Thanks
I would just like to let people know that it is worth changing the four M8 head bolts around the timing chain, not just the main head bolts alone when doing a cylinder head.
I re used the original four and one snapped during installation.
Just to point out a few things;
I know the history...
Just bought a cylinder head of ebay, haven't picked it up yet, but the seller doesn't have the cam shaft bearing caps.
I know these are line bored during the manufacture, but what are the tolerances like?
