right i think the ebc brakes look mint, but i also want big brakes of which the corsa gsi ones are only 255mm

but if i was to get V6 calipars, the disks that suit them are 284x24, and to go further the carlton, omega and senator all have 296x25

so my question is, will 1mm of extra thickness (25mm) on the disk matter on calipars that take 24mm like the V6 ones?

I dont reccomend you fit a V6 setup anyway, unless you plan the difficult job of replacing the master cylinder with a meatier item. It struggles a bit with V6 calipers.

V6 have a terrible pedal feel. My opinion may change soon though as i found the nut that u adjust to make the pedal harder
