my V6s have never been spongey, neither are brosters, maybe the 1.4 16v servo can handle them and others cant, i can understand abs affecting it, but like i say, mine have been spot on, only had them fade once

^ seen as he posted pics:lol:

reyland disks compared to V6 288mm jobbies

behind mm t12's... and they just BARELY fitted behind them 1mm of clearance :lol:


these are great great brakes... the dude i sold them to just couldnt believe the difference they made to his car(corsa 2.0 on tb's 190BHP)

as i said above though you dont need them... if you must and only if you must... v6's yes they are spongy... but farking hell they stopp you in a hear beat.... well they did when they were on my corsa and they are on the girlfriends tigra and are great... actually there is no really spongy pedal on her car at all:boggle: i dunno why that is...

for the car you have now... the 2.0's should be fine.... again this is what i think you may have different requirments...

V6's brakes mate :)

:(

oh well, my central heating boiler packed in today:mad:

looks like thats wiped out my new brake fund:(

iv given my v6's a hammering, best thing i did was get some ds2500 pads

Other 4 pots are lighter, but they cost more!

if its just a road car i agree, stay with the 2l ones. if not then £700 is well worth it.

they aint exactly heavy though...:lol: i'd say the 2 calipers wieghed the same as 1 v6 caliper...

Reylands rock. Buy them.

the reason i said that is cos when i got my reylands i only had them on about 2 months and i started to question my sanity buying 700 brakes... that i really didnt need... they were complete over kill :lol:

the 2.0 setup i have on there at the moment works fine...

the whole reason for keeping the corsa is for cheap thrills....:)

there on the turbo nova in march 06 total vauxhall

brakes - saab 93 aero front discs and calipers

[Edited on 28-03-2006 by jamesvalver]

will spend £500 plus.

tell me more about these saab aero jobbies please.....

mine used to be a 1.0 12v so no abs here! saved me life a few times in the gsi though.

anyway, back to the subject, i suppose it depends on how much your planning to spend? you could try and find some saab aero brakes (4pots) or go for the hi-spec route

im running v6 brakes on my valver and there really gd!

looking for a brake upgrade, im currently using ate 2 litre callipers, brembo discs and mintex pads. stopping power is very good, I want more though.

was looking at the reylands or wilwoods or hi-spec.

any reccomendations?
