nah m8 ur standard master cyl should be fine for just 2 litre ones. Make sure you get the caliper mounting brackets too or you might come a cropper. Are you buying the calipers new? if so they might not come with em... | |

nice set of braided hoses and some v6/turbo jobbies :thumbs: always gunna get better braking by having bigger discs and more powerful calipers rather than buyer fancy shmancy drilled and grooved discs etc | |

some people say that about v6 brakes yeah, ive got em on the corsa turbo, they feel fine to me, but my mate says the feel spongey, i never notice as i ever slam em on or use engine braking, lol | |

as far as i know you can get away with 2ltr brakes without changing the master cylinder, though if you go for V6 you may want to consider changing it (I'm not 100% on that, people were commenting about a 'sproggy' feeling on the pedal when they upgraded to V6 brakes) | |
