Steer clear of hi spec if you can,
go for a wilwood midlight setup - would be perfect and i sure that 280mm discs would fit!

Ring Rally design there the best people for that job

Or you could look at the Reyland setup I had that was £700

Moving on from this, what companies do 4 pot of the shelf brake kits for the Dc2 Integra Type R, maybe even 6 pots up front and 4 pots for the rear. Cheers

These will fit under the 15" Comp MO's

Steer clear of wilwood your having a laugh right!

People dont undertsand, on a car as small as a corsa you need brakes they will get the heat into them right away.
4 pots will be great yes but you need a fairly soft pad and disc setup.

And im sure you will overbrake the car as well, meaning it will just lock up all the time

Hi spec are the ones to steer clear of, they have no dust seals unlike the wilwood which are designed for road use, rallying, anything you will throw at them

http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=45&products_id=4005

thats exactly the kit that you want for your corsa,
has twice the pistons as the 2ltr setup, wont fade and would be perfect!

Unless your going to spend the 1k or so for the godspeed setup

Behind 15" MO's the Reylands will fit, hes got them on his Metro like that.

V6 brakes are nothing on a set of properly working 4 pots!

the pedal feel on corsas is shite, with V6 setup its worse, 4 pots are marginally better. this combined with the extra stopping power steered me towards 4 pots
