Great breaks, but affect the unsprung weight quite badly.

Got me out of some sticky situations a fair few times!!

with four pots tho ideally you need a brake bias valve,or you skid on heavy braking badly,v6 are a good choice if they can stop a v6 vectra on full trot theyre grand for a corsa

EBC ones are crap IMO, Standards are more than good enough, just get some decent pads when the standard ones wear out.
