Original disks and original pads (ATE 256mm GSI), cooked in 15 K miles, and the braking balance is awful
Original disks and Mintex pads, cooked in 12,5 K miles, awful balance
Black Diamond (cross drilled disks and slotted) and Mintex pads, incredible fad resistance but cooked at 15K, however they give a better balance than standard
Brembo plain disks and EBC greenstuff, excellent kit
But now I've gotTarox 6 pot callipers, 295 mm Tarox Cross drilled disks and slotted, braided hoses and they are an huge improvement in brake balance with incredible resistance to fade.
Its good to scare some idiots in BMW's, Merc's, etc because the stopping power of the car is just.....unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, have been looking online and those Tarox 6 pot calipers are like £1000 +/- which a little more than what i was willing to pay. Thx for the hlep though...

GSi brakes are not bad. Best setup i'd say go for is the larger 256x24 setup. Not to much of a strain on the master cylinder and work well with aftermarket discs and pads.

Wouldn't advise the V6 conversion on teh corsa. Pedals too spongy.
