If you only have the calipers, then there's a size difference, and they do look a bit different if you have a look on google.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

I'm a bit confused with the hole alot i am buyin the calipers off a friend and havent got any disc, but from what i'm reading there is a size difference in the pistons, does any body no and can you notice the difference in braking really? |

I've personally found pads make more difference than the small jump between disc size. From 8.4s with blackstuff pads to 7.5s and m1144 pads there was a huge braking improvement. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
