4 Stud plain discs with V6 calipers are around £200. | |

What sort of price is the V6 conversion compared to the 2.0 then? My standard disks look tiny with 17s on, plus im saving for engine conversion and need to upgrade things before. | |

They are poo when cold, i've not tried other pads, but on plain discs, its a vast improvement on teh standard vauxhall ones. Plus no dust :) | |

2.0 setup is a fair bit cheaper! | |

2.0 brakes with Greenstuffs and matching ebc discs stopped my mates old 1.6 sport on a penny. Fantastic setup, best brakes he's used also. | |

I locked my V6 brakes up for the first time last week - easier to do than standard brakes but that was expected. No spongyness t report - feel the same as the standard brakes- thats with braided hoses too. | |

V6 cos they last longer, cant get them to fade. 2.0l ones have just as good pedal but fade when given a hard time!! | |

2.0L. V6 caliper pistons are too big for any decent pedal feel with the corsa | |

v6 all the way soo much better than 16v calipers esp with rear disks | |

i have the v6, they stop well, and with the braided hoses have a better feel than the standard brakes, also iv not got abs, and as yet i havent loacked up and iv done some pretty agressive breaking on motorways in rain etc! | |

at the end of the day, they stick 2l brakes on 156 bhp astras, and they stop them bloody quick. the v6 brakes arent really designed to be used without abs. | |
