Does anyone know whether or not the front brakes on the earlier red top engined cars are the same as on the later Ecotec models?

I should have posted here first!

I was looking for some, but ordered some Mintex ones from Ebay last night in the end. Tonights question was to check they'd definitely be OK.
Wanted something uprated, but had to settle for a standard set.

What do you have exactly?

Ah ok, well thanks for the offer! :)

Hoping they turn up before the weekend so I can get 'em on. I hadn't realised how tatty the old ones had got on the inside edges.

Well I have to say I'm impressed. I ordered the disc and pad set at one o'clock Wednesday morning. They arrived at midday today, 35 hours from clicking the Buy It Now button. I'm genuinely pleased to see that there are businesses out there who still offer good service.

It's no real surprise the pedal was getting a little soft...:oops:
