(19:th-Jan-2017, 19:42:33)Astra VXD Wrote: Issue I found when ordering from anywhere other than Vauxhall is.. you have the option of 2 rear disk sizes for my car,one being 268mm and the other being 292mm (which is what I wanted) but then when I want a rear pad there was only one choice for this. So this means the 268mm disk and the 292 mm disk uses the same size pad which in my eyes is completely pointless of a bigger disk.im upgrading to USR slotted with green stuff from ebc.anyone else noticed this.if I go to gsf or anywhere they say there is only one rear pad size for my car Astra 2.0cdti.

Yes its a pain IIRC only the GTC or VXR has 292mm rears (Don't quote me on that thou).

It looks like 21mm to me.

I guess I'll find out very soon. Managed to borrow a socket set from work that has a 20 and 21mm socket. Just waiting for the delivery of the discs and pads.

I never paid attention to the size When I did mine sorry.
