No point on a 1.4... better to get 2.0 valver brakes... Loads cheaper and offers good stopping! (the slow my 2.0 corsa down fine!)

be prepared for poor pedal feel though to much displacement is needed in calipres, I have 2.0 ATE calipres the performance is very good but the first half of the pedal is not very firm at all, I could prob adjust this on the pedal but looks a real ball ache to do.

yes my brakes have braded lines and are fitted and bled correctly simple hyrdaulics more fluid is needed to move the ate calipers than the originals, I never noticed the shit feel till i drove other cars, dont get me wrong I have some stopping power but I kike the pedal to be up at the top and solid
