I'm running Wilwood Midilight 4-pots and 285 discs supplied by Rally Design. Immense stopping power and a decent pedal feel. Total package was £400 plus the dreaded VAT. Ten times better than V6 conversion, so if your budget stretches a bit further than V6 stuff, keep this in mind.

I love my V6 conversion now I've got the braided hoses on.

Calibra V6 calipers with GM pads
284mm plain discs from V-tuning
Goodridge braided hoses.

I used to have V6 kit plus braided hoses. A big step up from standard but absolute sh1te compared to the Wilwood 4-pots.

I've got, errrr, fuck knows. Got em in mid 2001, £200 notes, damn bargin at the time 288mm V6 brakes.

PErsonnally, i'd spend out the extra and get the lightweight bells/calipers available from Hi-Spec, Brembo etc (Brembo are doing kits for like £750 now, mmmmmmmmmmmm).

My complete setup

V6 Calipers, 288mm plain discs
Braided hoses
Greenstuff pads

Behined 16"s



As for piccies.
