[Nazza's Nova]

u should of put 2.0 brakes on it with the bigger calipers
they bolt straight on

i would just use the 16v brakes mate no messing!!

[Adam]

They'll be fine.
The disc's the same diameter so braking force is v. similar to 16v 2L brakes

[Will F]

They will be SHEEEIIITE!!!

You need at LEAST 256x24mm (2L) brakes and they aint much cop under heavy braking!

shouldnt be too bad with GOOD pads (mintex 1144's for light use and 1155's or ferodo DS2500's for hard use) and GOOD discs....

the piston size is smaller than the gen valver stuff so the immediate leverage wont be "as" good but the thinner disc keeps the rotating mass down and therefore needs less torque to get it moving, and the lighter calipers make for less unsprung mass..... but your not low on torque OR building a perfect circuit racer lol.
