I have the ATE callipers on my Corsa, I'm using the same Corsa resevoir........I'm told if i need more responsive brakes eg:less spongy then a bigger resevoir will help, has anyone had one fitted, if so....which one fits!?

I'll have to do some investigating then! I havent been to pick my motor up, just what the bloke told me when he said he had finished it, they might be ok to me, i'll have to see.

Think he might mean servo, but don't see ti being a issue, as nova's have smaller servo's and are fine. The spongeiness is either poor bleeding on the fluid change, or the master need new seals putting.

providing that the brakes have been bleed correctly then the brakes will feel slightly spongey due to the pads and disks been new. give it a couple of hundredf miles and itll be ok

Use an ATE brake servo too to get even better braking though

Picked the motor up, got my green stuff pads and disks on, new rear seals and front, new cv boots as they were split and spraying grease on my disks, new dot 4 fluid, new cam shaft seals..........all going good now! Brakes are alot better, less spongy...........although the green stuff pads and disks really take affect when they have plenty of heat in em!
They steam cleaned my wheels, checked the entire engine over all for about nothing only because i took it to my old man's plant department!
