hi lads and ladies maybe im doing a corsa redtop conversion soon but im driving it with the normal 1.4sport engine in it for 6months-12months and then doing the conversion but im going to get the better brakes now so is there any certain ones u guys would say to go for i.e off calibras or cavi's???

basic 256mm ates off a calibra cav or astra will do the job

If using 16v Astra/Cav stuff I'd say you want a performance pad, using the V6 Vectra gear you can probably get away with cheaper pads as the stopping power should be better from the larger disc & larger pad area.

This will open up a debate over wether the V6 stuff works with the Corsa mastercylinder. I found it did & by adjusting the clevis pin on the pedal, firms up the feel nicely.

Just go with what you can find cheap enough & what wheels you are using, V6's fit behind most 15" wheels just about.

Cav or Cally Turbo brakes.

284mm, with Fiat Coupe Brake disks.

Redrill the 10mm hole to 11mm and your game on.
