v6 or 2.0 16v brakes !!!!

[Ric 16v]

just wanting to know what the diference is between these two, obviously the v6 ones are bigger !!!!! but is there any real difference in the stopping time ???? also which suit the nova best, and if I went for the v6 ones would I have to change the brake servo ??????

I think that the V6 calipers/discs/pads are all more expensive than the 2.0l 16v ones

they are twice the price, parts are quite a bit more, and you need 16inch+ wheels to get them on.
Best bet is to go for the 16v and get some performance pads. Id say the V6 brakes are better for show reasons.
Most V6 brakes have 5 studs, and you would need to get them redrilled, or you can get them already done for a bit extra.
you dont need a bigger servo on either but i would recomend doing it anyway, it helps a great deal

On proper performance applications (ie track use) you may notice a slight deterioation in the handling with the greater unsprgun weight of the V6 setup as well.

Personally think the valver setup is spot on for a nova.

i think i remeber car mechanics magazine were going to fit vectra v6 brakes to their project nova, either this month or next......check the mag?

stick with 16v ones, v6 more hassle and dont bother with rear disks either.
