Good brakes but you will find for a road car they tend to get clogged up a lot and you need to keep on top of them. Had some on my old old gsi.

V6 arnt te beat. Calibra turbo ones run same size disc but the calipers feel better with corsa survo. Even better with braided lines.

V6 brakes are heavy as fook, when I put them on my Corsa I noticed the steering going heavier straight away

Really a decent set of discs and pads on a 256 set up is good enough for most. I suppose a v6 engine dose have a fair waight though so bigger and better cooled even better.

I was running 256s on the LET with ds2500 pads and not had trouble

Some people take brakes for granted though, floor it, brake last second, nothing happens and end up hitting a lamp post!
