Good luck tryin to fit the V6 M/C.

TBH tho from personal experience,the standard M/C with turbo calipers works very well.
My old V6 Mk3 Gsi had V6 Calipers and the bigger M/C and i still say the corsa with the turbo calipers was far far better.

If you can try and get Turbo calipers as the piston is a tad smaller so it dosnt give the pedal a spongey feel and it dosnt hit the floor b4 it starts to stop the car.


As above, this is the problem with the V6 calipers, the Master Cylinder isnt really big enough for the job.

2003 Meriva 1.7TD Discs and Vectra V6 calipers.. They fit STRAIGHT ON no drilling etc. required and fit behind most vauxhall 15" alloys.

The Discs cost £46 from vauxhall and the calipers can be had from your local scrap yard.

Can you use 1.6 16v carriers on the 2.0 brakes?

You can just squeeze V6 brakes under a 15 inch rim. You have to redrill the disc as they only come in a 5 stud fitement. (I have heard rumors that EBC now produce the correct size disc in 4 stud now) If you go with V6 set up you will need to shave the caliper. U2u Tom Simes as he has this setup on his corsa :thumbs:
