Top service (offered to get my wheel picked up and brough back to check if it would fit, free of charge), and the brakes themself are immense. Bargain at £675 too!
The are AP calipers adapted to fit.
what size and offset are ur wheels? what size spacer did you have to use?

Was on a cav turbo and apparently not much money  Maybe 5 stud tho 
Alternatively buy some brembo fiat coupe calipers and use them  ALOT cheaper

Pete, they are the same as whats on my Ibiza. Speak to a chap called Bill Brockbank from Badger5 Racing. He does them for the Ibiza's and Leon's. Not sure on price but I think around £500 ish.
Check his site for contact info. Tell him Nobber from Seatcupra.net sent ya!

You cant go wrong with a Vectra V6 upgrade. I've got 300mm discs on my Astra and V6 calipers and they are well up to the job.
IMO spending £1200 on brakes is a waste of money unless you have a big car and obviously need the braking power. £300-£400 for a decent set up will be all you need. The Corsa isnt exactly heavy compared to an Evo etc so even with big power its still a small car that needs stopping.

If the car versions of brembos are anything like the bike versions then they'll be good. AP Racing also another quality brake manufacturer.

fadcorsa, you mean the Reyland ones or the Hi-Spec ones?
Your more than welcome to come and look at my Reyland calipers, that quite clearly have AP imprinted on the back of them

spending money on big brakes is not a waste of cash at all. probably the best modification you can do imo is the chassis and braking. instead of just plopping a 2.0 turbo in.

Brembo brake kits can be brought from www.godspeedbrakes.co.uk
They supplyed the 335mm kit and modded my brembo Porsche calipers and made the mounts to fit them
