because it includes brackets and fixings that allow you to use their 285mm grooved discs with the 2l 16v callipers

TOMAS is running V6 stoppers with his XE conversion. They seem to be quite good.

think you'd be better off with option 2 as the master cylinder is too small for V6 brakes really !!!

this is what i thought. reading through old posts it seems you get a lot of pedal travel and a spongy feel even with braided hoses on the v6 set up. i want stopping power and pedal feel really.
and the big disc kit looks good as well

just use the 2.0 16v brakes there more than enough...
the v6's are excellent but the spongy brake pedal can be annoying...
havent said that the v6 setup i had on my corsa is now on the girlfriends tigra and there is no spongyness whatsoever... the brakes on her car are brilliant..... maybe the master cylinder is bigger or sumat
