Really intrested in getting some of these,

They look amazing. Similar to what are on Leon Cupra R's as standard,

Trying to find the UK disti for them, or do they have a UK sales centre? Tried finding their site, but no joy.

Hmmmmm

Brembo on a Corsa SRi is seriously not worth it Pete, you could get good enough brake performance out of something A LOT cheaper... I know they look good but that'd be a waste of money

I disagree. If you're driving it hard, they're always nice to have on your behalf. Plus they look rather sexy.

They cost about £1.5k though for the kit. Surely some AP Racing ones would be a better option? Quite a few companys do them calipers with fitting kits....

I was gonna say Alcon, they were on this Jaguar JP1 thing i ragged round a track, tucked up behind some 13" wheels, and the power on these things was AMAZING!! Would like some on the nova, but for ease of use, and as i already have them kicking about, GTE ones will do for now.

I've the Reyland brakes on mine.

Had to fit wheel spacers on to get them on under my speedlines.

Top service (offered to get my wheel picked up and brough back to check if it would fit, free of charge), and the brakes themself are immense. Bargain at £675 too!

The are AP calipers adapted to fit.
