I know they will be good, but compare spending the £100-250 on some new discs

To the £600+ on new claipers fitting etc etc etc to benefit me THAT much?? Its a huge differnce in price.

I have heard you can get brembo fiat coupe calipers to fit if you have a bracket made???? they are alot cheaper than brakes for the like of £1k. I would spend that if i thought the difference would be that good.

yes, they will be far superiour in every way, im sure wilwood to some 4 pots that are suitable for the corsa master cylinder which would be a good match

basically as your front does most of the braking thats where you should start. Specuially as you have a LET.

IMO four pots should be obligatory with every LET conversion. If your worried about cost Hi-spec in dartford do budget kits

well i dont know what the costs are for them but the bembo idea form fiat coupes is a good idea.

I think Hi-spec do a 4 pot billet set with bells discs and pad for around the 450-500 mark

reyland are the cheapest and possibly one of the best as its an ap racing setup!!

Wilwood midlites you would need and there about £700+ tarox is more the 6 pot setup spankee had was £1200,

hi spec are about £750 for the big brake kit, 4 pot that is!
Seriosly i say get 4 pots and leave the rear discs for now.

305mm i beleive, there awesome just done about 1000 miles in the car in 1 week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But now there much better!

Hi specs are a lot same with wilwood as you have to add pads, hoses, and VAT onto all the prices,

the wilwood dynalite kit is little bit under powered for you id say!

If martin has the same brakes as me on a 600bhp cossie im happy with that!

i got rear discs yes, i found that when they were set up properly that the car is alot more stable under hard braking now, i have the v6 brakes up front, dont htink id like the rear discs with anything less up front, they would be over powerful. just go for standard disc size, i have cav sri rear discs and calipers. but its done differently to most and i can retain the original corsa hand brake cables.

deffo worth it if you ask me.
