well ordered some 4stud 288 mm v6/turbo brakes from lmf and they have been sitting in me garage gathering dust, so though i would make a start on car and fit them. i also have the some braided lines to fit.
would be easier to drain brake fluid, take old brake soff and fit new ones with ne line then bleed the system after filling it up with new fluid
or would it be easier to get some one else to do it lol
cheers nath

You might want to change the hoses for braided as well.
V6 brakes tend to be spongey on the corsa master cylinder.

Yes, even on a GSI.
Spongeyness gets better, doesn't go.

Braided hoses and 2 Ltr setup took me and a mate 7 hours to fit. 
We have a moderate knolege of cars mind, and hadn't done Brake hoses before. Learn't as we went! Will be quicker next time
