Works fine for me, got braided hoses on front from PVD to make pedal a little harder feeling

Is this spongy feel changed with these braided brake lines then?

I love the feel of my standard sport brakes, their light to control slow brking perfectly smoothly but when pushed hard they stop quite well!

Want larger brakes tho, and at £200 odd seems good value!

Yeah, all new disks calipers and pads. GM stuff too. This is from Vaux-MD.

Very cheap considering they used to be about £400.

Only the pads are EBC - which are better than Vauxhall pads anyway.
If the discs are genuine GM, then what car has 284/288mm 4-stud discs??

How many stud holes are on the LMF discs?
PVD's discs are manufactured from a blank disc to a 4/100 stud pattern.

LMF ones are re drilled 5 studs,

with brand new calipers and brand new GM pads,

best buy really is from v-tuning,

they do brand new 4 stud discs (which they have manufactured)

brand new calipers and Greenstuff pads,

all for 200

I find 2litre brakes to be more than enough for my baby 1.4

Also only set me back £70 for callipers (in yellow), Red Dot discs, and Red Dot pads. All only a few weeks old too

Joff i wasnt slating the PVD ones, performance discs are bound to be better han their road going counterparts, i was saying at half the price it aint a bad deal and there is nothing wrong with GM parts!

Chill!!!
