Does this fill the wheel nicely? Would this set-up need braided hoses to stop a spongy peddle? Any pics would be great

Its not the disc size,its the caliper choice that will give the spongey pedal.

V6 calipers will be spongey,cav/calibra turbo calipers aren't spongey.

I have 288's behind my speedlines with Turbo Calipers. Braided hoses all round. Cant tell any difference between my old standard setup apart from much better stopping power!

Then surely there is a difference then?

Pics of 308's behind speedlines and rear astra gsi discs in my garage don't think there any closeups tho.

Did your Cesaro's turn with them Wilwoods, the ones I tried clipped the wheel? Which is why I went for Comp MO's.
