dude i'm running vectra gs calipers and etc...and works fine! guessing a bigger servo will make a bit of difference but breaks set up well should still stop ya fine! try adjusting the rear shoes first, then bleed the system

the servo makes **** all difference... its only of proper help if you dont weigh enough to press the pedal

If there spongy you've got a problem with them.

Usually with v6 brakes you'll get a low pedal ( have to press it a fair way before the brakes do anything) but when they do brake, they'll bruise your chest on the seatbelt, Lol.

Are the calipers on the right way up? Bleed nipples pointing upwards?
Are the locating springs fitted correctly?
