Brake
Break means broken.
Go with whatever you want, if youve seen some posts im putting Remy recon on the back of mine. I could have paid another £40 each caliper and got brand new ATE but im sure these will be fine for a few years to come.
Its up to you isnt it? I only use premuim parts as i want reliabitly along with performance as ive always had Vectras that 'go' a bit. There some decent priced ones in UK ebay and ebayde

Wow thats cheap, they give misleading fitment info though as hatch and estate use different versions they are not the same. But, do fit but i cant help thinking a hatch trying to install an estate caliper the handbrake cable would be too short.

I thought so too everything estate is slightly different I fitted it myself as with everything else on the car. I made mistake with handbrake cable lever it look slightly different but it was matter of flipping with screwdriver after installation which was done at MOT, it took 2 minutes. It works perfectly now brakes have improved %. The slider pins included were torx instead Allen head but just used originals.
