quote: Not true - the Midilite callipers are fully dust sealed - they also weigh about a tenth of a V6 calliper and stop the car on a sixpence. Rally Design will also supply then with compatible piston size for Corsa master cylinder. :thumbs: | |

Got my GTE calipers for £50 with pads & new seals & got 256mm discs fae TMS 4 just under £30. Stops well enuf for most applications! :! Fit straight on too, just remeber to use new washers when u change them as they only cost pennies and you brakes wont work well if they're leaking! V6 setup not too good for feel cos the weedy little servo cant handle displacing those massive pistons, pretty good chance u'll go staight off the road the first time you have to mash the anchors! | |

Well i dont drive mad, mainly i was hoping to get a bit better stopping with better 'feel'. Due to being a student i dont have wads of cash to throw at the brakes, but would like to be able to notice the difference. | |

Dont go wilwood. Exposed pistons that get clogged up by dirt easily. V6, master cylinders arn't good enuff on the corsa. | |
