Hi,
I am currently running a 2.0 16 nova wide arch track car. I have 288mm Vetra V6 front brakes and Astra 2.0 gsi rear disks. I am running a standard master cylinder with brake bias valve and have to much brake pedal travel? It doesnt give you any confiedence when braking on race track, when the pedal travel to excessive.

What master cylinder do you fit that can rectifiy this?

What are you running?

Any help would be greatfull.

Thanks

Christopher

would be better if you could do the corsa set up

you can just adjust the pedal think its a 17 mm locking nut and anscrew the threaded bar then tighten the lock nut easy and it works. I have the same brake set up do not over adjust as will feel like it has no servo hope this helps. (its under the dash on the brake peddal cant miss it)

get a bias pedal box,it replaces whats there now and has two master cylinders.one for the front and one for the back.
you dont have a servo but gives great feel when your braking on track:thumb:
