Ooooooooooooo suit u sir!
Rear disks i see, were they hard to fit?
Mixed opinion on these, apparently some ppl prefre drums cos the rear brakes are a bit harsh going into a corner when braking

to be honest i aint given them much abuse yet, but over all feel is good with the big 288mm v6 ones upfront i found the back end got light under hard brakeing, now it feels alot better and more stable. garage fitted them for me, (JAMsport done alot of work on my car and they are top staff) siad it was a tad trickey but soon got round that!
its lowered on coilovers, about 50-60mm i think-well was before i stripped it, its on 15\'s

cars here dude sat outside my house, as i said not nailed them much yet but its so much stabeler under brakeing and i got new wheel bearings to so its alot quieter, they were slightly f**k, i wouldnt recomend andone gets them with standard discs up front to be honest will be to mush, but with my front set up it seems perfectly well balanced.

Well I\'m lookin at gettin Astra GSi brakes up front (same disc size, just slightly wider) and matching with rears too...
so you finally got your new pump in then??

no still not fitted the pump, going to wait till im low on fuel so i dont get so covered in petrol lol!!!!
id seriously go for v6 up front if you want rar discs, unless you want to buy a little valve that reduces the pressure

can\'t fit V6 ones under the alloys I got & also want to get some 14\" deep-dish euro style alloys so doubt they will fit under those too

will look good just feel they may be too strong for the front brakes, corsa is alot lighter at the back than an astra or cav sri. best bet is to try them and if its to powerful buy a valve thingy, they look ace, some lad in a corsa was along side me on the way back and he looked at the front ones and grinned, then turned to the rear and looked confused lol!!!! the front brakes are so cool, one of my favb mods of all time! cant beat them

true the V6 stoppers are excellent
had them on the old corsa, pretty scary when they lock up doing 70 down the motorway tho
hows the pedal feel with the rears on also?? any different?
