its pretty obvious that going to fast was the problem, not the brakes. but anyway you could probably get a few hundred quid back in bits, its surprising what people ask for when your splitting a car. | |

Was gussing that it was a 1.4 sri before which would hae 236? (sorry slighty rusty on corsa specs) oposed to 256mm 16 brakes. I personally think its more down to driver error than the brakes as my 1.4 16v brakes with grooved and drilled discs and grrenstff pads were quite good! | |

When insuring converted cars they do ask if the brakes and suspension have been upgraded. Flux do anyway | |

Its fairly obvious that you need bigger brake to stop more power and more weight. | |

Jesus fuck that's a sore one! Is he ok!? That's a lesson to folk that bigger brakes should come before power :| | |

quote: bigger brakes with more surface area are far less likely to lock up in some conditions. also a higher clamping force is much better for stopping you gradually as you need less pedal pressure to pull up to a stop , with the smaller brakes if you need to stop in a hurry you are far more likely to stamp on them suddenly and cause them to lock up. | |

Not sure, just going by what i was told. Nothing to sell really, apart from interior. | |

well if it locked up surly the brakes went to fault but its a bit late now really! sum half decent bits to sell there anyway! | |

Bought the car like that, told him to get 2.0 Brakes. It was a very very tidy car for an L reg. He locked up in the wet, swerved to avoid a car and hit another car head on at about 40mph. | |
