    I use Fiat coupe discs too, and Turbo calipers, and my brakes work awesomely too.
    And thats with motor factors discs, and std GM pads. No fade even on track.

    well turbo calipers have a smaller piston too so maybe its just the v6 calipers that make brakes feel spongy. i just dont have any confidence in my brakes, not a major issure that im gonna spend fortunes on but with my garage being in a vauxhall breakers yard its easy to try different things from different cars.
    at the end of the day its gonna be for drag racing only next year so brakes are no biggy.

    I had 288 v6 set up and there where spoongy as funk on mine, went back to turbo stuff and they still arnt great. Yes i have rear disc, but they hardly do anything, redoing all of my brake set up over the winter tho so we'll see how that gos. Looking at getting brackets made too so i can run 256 calipars but with 288 discs.
