look good though any chance of picture from distance to see what looks like?
Surely it matters not one bit what they "look" like, who on earth would buy some replacement discs purely on the basis of what they looked like ?

Too true. But could you take them seriously? No offence meant but they would have to be the best brakes discs in the world for me to buy them.Surely it matters not one bit what they "look" like, who on earth would buy some replacement discs purely on the basis of what they looked like ?

Likewise
I'll be interested to see how he gets on as I've only heard bad reports from the few people that I've heard of that have fitted them (admittedly not on a vx though)

true but think you find a lot of drilled disks/big brake kits are put on cars just because they are drilled and look good (this i think is case with maxpower heads!since when has a 1ltr corsa needed drilled disks!)

Umm probably more so.
The Corsa as standard has small solid discs which fade very very quickly. This car would benefit from a disc upgrade more than most. Also bear in mind that if a car only has 54bhp, acceleration is apalling so late braking is one option to try to get around a bit quicker.
At least the VX's brakes are pretty well specced for factory.

finally a good question!!Do you know if there is any difference in weight between these & the standard disc, might help reduce unspring weight??
stock rotors are 7,4kg each.... what about the daisy?
funny-looking as they can be, if they are at least 500 grams less, I might get a pair....

They are indeed lighter. On an Audi TT (312mm) the weight saving is 1.36kg for the pair, so a 288mm VX disc is more than 500g lighter per disc I'm sure.
homework: put one on a scale and verify...
cheers
