get 16v calipers instead V6 perfomance is poor due to the small size of the master cylinder on the corsa

performance is poor? fad? the only thing thats bad about the v6 setup is the spongy pedal.....
they will send you out through the windscreen if you press them hard enough... amazing when you need to slow down from highspeed quickly...
due to me having 14" steelys on now i'll be getting some 2.0 brakes on saturday( i'm using 1.4 tigra brakes at the moment) i'll be then in a position to comment on them...

personally I'd go for 2ltr 16v setup, they are fine for the lines of a 2ltr cav and so on, and the V6's are going to be heavy as fuck surely?

dude
1. drilled and grooved standard discs and uprated pads make fuck all difference
2. 16v brakes are ok, but look a bit poo
3. V6 ones are fine if you upgrade the hoses
fiat ones are 4 stud, but are 4 x 98mm, so need filing a bit
black diamond sell pre-drilled 4 x 100mm 288mm discs for this application
do it, it'll look ace

calipers trade price about what.. 45 quid each?
discs about 70 quid for the pair, if you get fiat ones
get greenstuff pads cos you'll be forever cleaning your wheels otherwise
