Just gauging interest to see if its worth while getting 288mm turbo/V6 brakes done in 4x100mm PCD to fit corsas (not re-drilled 5 studs!). The discs will be cross drilled but not shitty warptastic eBay badboys. Price would be roughly £100 for a pair.

or

Would people prefer a cheapo plain re-drilled 5 studs for cheaper?

Also would anyone be interested in 4pot brake kits?

Thanks

dont know yet, I'm only seeing if people are interested. I guess clearance would be a pretty big deciding factor.

Yep i think it would be a factor too. Mainly the caliper to wheel spoke gap would be my concern as i dont wont to use massive spacers.

I wouldn't mind a set of 4 pots for that price, been looking for some for a wee while now but wasn't paying hi-spec prices of £600ish so bought valva brakes for time being.

Just checked rally designs, £480 for 4 pots, pads, universal spacers(would need drilled/machined) and discs (5 stud tho). I think i'll be aiming at about the £400 mark.
