v6 all the way.. there huge!

i also agree with red dot/ebc/black diamond standard sized brakes with weakening grooves being shit

i had ebc 1.4 16v brakes, and warped them in about 1200 miles

my v6 brakes have done about 6k now, and have hardly warn still, not problems with them at all

but... my standard 1.4 brakes were good enough, if anything, the drilled and grooved ones were worse

In my own experience I've found a set of larger O.E. discs and calipers to be better than standard size brakes uprated. Also alot cheaper and dont wear out as quick. Better for everyday driving

thanks for crushing my sale guys:lol::lol:

i disagree 2ltr brakes are good and v6 brakes are excellent but i was using my 1400 brakes with my xe for short time and was not as bad as peeps would have u believe it is so there:P

uprated versions of standard brakes are better anyway, and my red dot ones are vented and grooved

thanks ed mwah

No thanks to ed for saying the same thing :(

1.4 16v discs are vented yes. but i wouldnt bother going for them, go for some gte ones, prob the same cost

1.4 16v brakes are shit. Its pointless upgrading to them. 2.0 16v are a much more worthwhile upgrade as Ed says.

You'd probably be able to get a decent standard 2.0 set up for less than a pair of red dot discs for a 1.4 :lol:

the discs on my x14xe are vented, they do the job fine for a standard car. no point getting red dot when you can get GM discs and pads cheap now

why do not get red dot disks.. of course there is a point.. if im gettin a x14xe i believe i will need bigger brakes

Do not get red dot disks....

There is not much point upgrading the brakes to 1.4. The only difference is the thickness of the disk.

nah 1.4 brakes would be fine with some red dot disks.....



would the callipers be differant to mine on the 1.4 though?

Get 2.0 brakes off of an Astra, Cavalier or Calibra...

1.4 brakes will fit, but they aren't as good as the 2.0 ones as the disks aren't ventilated.

You could get V6 brakes, but they are heavy and shitty.

corsa 1.2 8v?

will the 1.4 16v brakes?

are the calliper's differant?:boggle::thumbs:
