I agree that stainless lines are a bit of a gimick. I've got v6 fronts and they seem fine.

to B honest i would go for some astra GTE front discs and calapers they seem to B shit hot!

I was considering v6 breaks but i dont quite think they are up to the job!From what those guys sed B 4 seems like they are ok for the mponey but they admit they aint mint!
You can pick up some breaks and calipers for 50 quid at a brokers yard

Hope this helps you

Got em on the right way though.

I've never said they haven't stopped me. They do, but it feels so unsafe.
Yesterday i was really giving it some, 6500rpm in 5th, speedos not working at the mo, but i think its an off the clock job.

Had to come off at a junction, stamped on the brakes, slowed me down, but not enuff, had to go past the junction to the next one 8 miles down the road :mad: :lol:

I'd much prefer some 4 pots or 16v brakes with good pads n disks. Just the V6's fill up my 16"s nicly :lol:

I am going to fit my rear brake lines and re-bleed the system, when i've got someone else in the house to help me.

yeah thats in racing conditions, corsa won't b racing :P fluid won't get that hot under normal conditions

brake hoses make hel of a diff, wen i was younger i used 2 work 4 a motorbike company and every1 changed their line 2 goodridge! by far a massif difference under higher temps! sweet brake lines!! less chance of splitting too if u get them shrink wrapped :P

:! that don't help either :lol:

Daimo had his the wrong way round :lol:

yeah 4 the money they'll look gud. braided hose's r a bit of a gimmick i think. brake fluid still needs 2 b pushed thru quicker than wot the corsa master cylinder can do

yer its to much money buying 4 pots for me

daimo doesn't seem 2 think there shit hot, better off goin 4 4 pots or sumthing. more £££ though

so basicaly they are still shit hot, they just feel alittle spungy, and this can be helped alittle with braided hose lines, sweet

nice 1

at least they admit it

just got this reply from v-tuning:

The V6 Kit is fine for the Corsa, yes it will feel a little spongy through the pedal compared to your standard setup due to the small master cylinder but it certainly doesn't stop them from working effectively. To aid this sensation its wise to add braided steel brake lines front and rear and ensure the rear shoes on the drums are adjusted correctly.

just thought id let u know :)
