2.0 16V are good, you may need to invest in some Goodridge Braided Brake hoses...

As you mentioned you've changed ya engine so......Other options are V6 brakes then you got bigger like 4pots, etc..

Take into consideration distance from roundabout , speed , and very hard stamping on the brakes. Tis possible believe me!

some people seem to be lucky when upgrading brakes others like me are not!!

i am running 2.0 brakes on a 1.4 master cylinder also with braided hoses and the pedal feel is rubbish, the brakes are there and they are pretty good but the pedal is very very low.

Exactly how my pedal felt when i first changed my brakes turned out the calipers were round the wrong side so the bleed nipple was at the bottom and there was still air in the system! all sorted now though
