first off try the braided hoses all round before you fit the V6 jobbies, bleed the system & try again
then try with the V6 ones up front, if they respond better then use the V6 ones
fact is with the rear discs, the brakes will be a bit spongy, even more so with the V6 calipers up front as the master cylinder isn't really big enough for them, but braided hoses should help a bit

He'll still have the same sort of problem though because of the rear disks. The Corsa master cylinder just isn't up to the job really.
I have Wilwood 4pots and rear disks and there is plenty of power but the pedal is very spongy. All Corsa's use the same master cylinder/servo (except ABS ones) so the only option you have really is retro fitting one off a Vectra/Astra etc. I dont know the ins and outs of fitting one though, if its possible at all

i have been looking about of a bigger master cylinder and servo i have looked in to it and found that the tigra master [the abs model ] is 1mm bigger i work on vauxhalls all week long in and out of work the tigra is the only one that looks any thing like the corsa master ps mine hasn't got abs but the tigra master will fit !!!!

Yeah it could be one for MIG but i'd like to know if/how I can upgrade to a larger master cylinder on my Corsa B without ABS.... Do any just straight fit, bolt for bolt?
