hi does anybody know if when fitting v6 brakes to a corsa do you have to change the brake flexi hoses aswell? as when its on a full lock it pulls the original ones quite tight? which do you fit or what do you do many thanks

Are oyu sure you haven't twisted them. I have V6 brakes on mine, and the hose isn't tight. It's fine and dandy.

the flexi hoses are the same fittings for v6 calipers and 1.4 calipers etc etc so you dont have to change them.

Like Dean says, have you twisted them?

You sure you've put the calipers on the right sides. If they are the wrong way up then the hoses wont stretch
