    Brilliant big help fellas thanks. My standard 1.2 brakes are shocking, so need an upgrade. Another quick question, as I'm upgrading to 256mm brakes, do I need to upgrade the servo or would my standard 1.2 be sufficient?

    servo isn't what pushes the fluid through it's the master cylinder, and your standard one will be fine.

    Only really notice a longer pedal on 288mm setups that have the larger piston in rather than the 52 or 53mm (I forget) piston, which are technically 284mm setups but who gets out the verniers for brake discs that basically come in sizes small medium big and huge?

    What about smaller engined cav's? I take it they would be different to the 2.0 8 and 16v brakes?

    Most likely 236mm solids/vented, purely guessing though to be quite honest
