V6 brakes uncer 16 inch wheels.



These have slightly more pedal travel than the 2 litre brakes.

I was meaning 2L brakes.

2L Brakes = 256...........14" Wheel min

V6 Brakes = 288...........15" Wheel min

I disagree. The pedal travels more to the bite point, but they aren't spongey. Thats if you change the fluid.
