no you can fit bigger brakes and retain the original setup though you will have to learn the meaning of words as when i saw the title i thought we were discussing extended holidays lol

People dont really change the brake servo and master cylinder when they put the 2.0 brakes on, but if going for V6 or turbo brakes then you can use the GTE or GSI brake servo as it is slightly bigger or you can use the corsa peddle box set up.

Depends if you're going for a 70-75 to secure the match or a full on 147.

Putting a bigger servo is only of any use if you physically cant depress the pedal hard enough to make the brakes work..... bit like power steering wont make you turn the wheel 'faster'

i'm going to use pedantry & point out that the epas uses a quick rack...

but i agree on the servo thing.

the rack might be 'quicker' than std, but with EPAS on or off the number of turns lock to lock wont change ;)

Brake feel is crap with standard MC, you could change to a larger one but would need a new servo.

yes, but just make sure you have bought them not brought them before you post on here, and if you do get some, make sure the nipples point upwards
