fitting 308mm discs

[Blue_2.2]

When fitting 308 discs, what torque should the new carriers be done upto?

Do GSI pads fit straight onto SRi calipers?

Is there anything else that i need to know?

Thanks

Front caliper mounting bracket to hub 95Nm / 70lbs

Front caliper to mounting bracket (apply thread lock to threads) 30Nm / 22lbs

GSi pads should fit no problem. Apparently there are Police/Emergency Services spec pads available from Vauxhall. Not sure what the part# is though?

;-)

Have a look in here, it may give you some pointers. My brake upgrade is in here too.

Just to confirm that the GSI pads do work fine with the SRi calipers.

gsi pads fit the sri calipers as the calipers are identical

the only difference is the mounting bracket, one for 288 and one for 308 discs

just been down to my local stealer, trying to explain why a 2.2 driver wants GSi pads
I tried just asking for pads, but they wouldnt budge til they had my VIN plate

Front pad no 93179708

While i was there i got the brake fluid changed for 26 quid
