AP Racing :) or Brembo :)

Brembo is cheaper, very good brakes. AP Racing if you can afford them as their a lot of £££

Wilwoods are not very good calipers i've heard by a lot of people. Something to do with the pistons being exposed and can get dirty and clogged up.

Brembo is expensive, AP is, but another good caliper make thats quite cheap called Hi-Spec are coming up. Their main office is in Dartford. Got a cataloge. MMMmmmmmmm :D some nice brakes and i've heard people rave about them. And the pistons have seales to keep em clean and flowing. Adam Kindness has some and i think he rates em too. Lot of em coming out on quick cars. I want em but cant afford them at the mo cos of ice. 300-310mm (Can't remember) calipers, brackets and all the normal shit, comes ot about £400-£450 odd.

Nice looking too :D

imo id go for brembo

Don't get willwood, go for AP Racing, willwoods are very low quality

I got the Midilite Callipers (drop-forged and now dust-sealed :D ), 285x24mm discs, all the fitting brackets and braided hoses plus pads for £490 plus the dreaded VAT - so yes, it seems like a fair price to me. The master cylinder can be uprated (think people like TAS and Pro-Tec do the kit) but it's not cheap. Hower I gave Rally Design the dimensions of the standard GSi piston size, and they supplied the 4-pots to match (apparently they come with different piston sizes). I can only comment of pedal feel once I've got them in, but there's no doubt it'll be a big improvement over the V6 setup.

how much u pay andy?, so is that a good price? and what i do about Master cylinder?

Wilwoods. The V6 discs and calipers have a crap feel - the Corsa master cylinder is not really up to the job of driving those pistons. In any case, they're just single floating pistons, without the clamping power of a 4-pot. You'll also save about 8kgs of unsprung weight if you go for the Wilwoods compared to V6. I've got a set of Wilwoods sitting here on my desk and they're beautifully engineered - look so good you won't want to put them on the car! They're going on next week...
