dot 5 is well absorbant tho, so it dont have as much life as dot 4

they stop dont get me wrong but i dont like the pedal feel and im now running 5.1 fluid to see if that helps

Adam what wheels are they on your corsa

I have V6, stops well, looks good, but dont like the pedal feel.
I await the day i can afford some decent 4 pots :)

street, i heard this bout the v6 brakes, i have them on mine, havent got much spongyness, it feels good and stops well! i heard that if u put them on upside down or sumink it can cause spongyness?

My pedal feel is stodgy already, even with standard discs. I have fitted braided hoses and dot 4 fluid but to no avail, any ideas way causes this??
I want a v6 setup and as its bad already i wonder if it cud get anyworse LOL

I'm using Wilwood midilite 4-pots and 285mm discs. Terrific stopping power and good pedal feel for around£420. Wilwood can supply the callipers with different piston sizes to best match your master cylinder.

i have 284mm v6, braided hoses and rear discs and my pedal feel is really shite been told to change them back to the astra 256mm then add the conversion kit from hi-spec to make them 288mm using the astra caliper

Adam. How big is the gap between the outside edge of the calipers and the inside of your wheels and what offset are they?

I'll have to have a word with joff then ;) the site says you need 16" rims min for 300mm.

325mm:D;)

six pot calipers and 295 mm discs, and a good pedal feel, but I have braided hoses

i have the v6 brakes on my car, with braded hoses all round, the brakes aint that spongy really an stop u a treat.

I've had no probs with the hi-spec kit.
Make sure you use braided hoses tho, it will make a difference.

they are billet alu
so are lighter would prob need less force to make em work?

Try V6 calipers, and 284mm discs from V-tuning - just make sure you fir some braided hoses as this will stop a lot of the poor pedal feel.

Yeah thats what i want but pedal would feel shit because i wouldnt be able to get enough pressure to them.

dunno bout the servo
but a set of hi-spec 4 pot would shurly slow u down

After fitting a C20XE engine in my corsa although my front brakes are 2.0L 16V spec i feel the need for bigger more powerful brakes. I would like rear discs and 288mm front discs with 4 pot calipers. I will also need to upgrade the master cylinder and servo to provide enough fluid pressure for the 4 pots. What car can i get a bigger master cylinder off and how easy would it be to change it all over? :boggle:
