quote: ur bro must have done sumink wrong then, mine dont lock up easy unless you stanmp stupidly on the pedal, then what do u expect, pedal feel is better than the sandard 1.4 sport was, works a treat! but i do agree that the 2.0ltr brakes are up to the job! but bigger is better lol! joke | |

quote: I've driven both a corsa and nova with 2.0 ATE brakes, and V6 set ups. The V6's look nice. yes :|............................but thats about it. The peddle feels crap. U get no response, just mush. However, i have also driven a nova with bigger master cylinder with V6s......and yes the peddle felt better. But even still, their size and power is TOO great for that of a 3 door hatch.....lock ups are way too easy, especially in an emergency situation. Oh, and thats not to mention the extra weight they entail. Unless ur running a 250bhp+ carrying 5 people and their luggage, and u need to stop quickly from 150mph without fade, there is no point. anyway, i think i've had my rant. thanks for viewing. lol.

the v6 ones are ATE calipers, just bigger and better ATE calipers than the ones from the GTE's etc. | |

And when i last checked, brakes are for stopping u and providing good feedback, not for looking pretty. :rolleyes: | |

quote: Yes but why? When 2.0 ATE set up in way more than adequate? The v6s are more expensive (under normal circumstances are £200+), give u peddle that feels poo and are prone to locking up too easily. My bro had them on a 200bhp Nova, but went back to ATE setup coz of this. Its simply not worth it for the money. And unless u can afford to kit the brakes up with grooved/drilled discs, they dont look all that. Matt | |

very true, but the V6 ones are better still, my complete setup cost me £115 evertything brand new except the calipers. | |

quote: yes. couldnt have put it better. 2.0 setup with THE MOST CHEAPO PADS AND DISCS u can get, will still stop u quicker and easier than ANY SXi set up | |

get 2l brakes if anything, you can get the whole setup for the same price as fancy discs for a standard sxi, it always makes me chuckle when i see people putting fancy discs on in the 236 x 13mm fitment. | |

I would really like the V6 drilled and grooved disc conversion but they are about £400. Just want to get some smart looking standard size discs for the time being. Ill prob get that conversion in the future though. | |

:wave: Wots the best direct replacement discs for a Corsa B Sxi? I had EBC Discs and Greenstuff pads on last corsa and they were good. Gonna get the Greenstuff pads again but fancy a different disc that looks a bit better like the Rotor Disc ones or similar? Any suggestions boys!:thumbs: |
