if u can do the work urself then its gonna cost u nothing apart from the initial outlay of the parts. Garage would probably charge u an hour/hour 1/2 labour

Unless ur......

a) running huge rims that show the brakes really clearly

or

b) running a mega powerful LET

.....then there is absolutely no point in having V6s on a corsa.........a set of 256mm ATEs are more than adequate to stop an XE'd Cav from 130mph with ease, and so are as strong as your likely to need on a corsa.

The peddle feels like absolute poo until u sort out the master cylinder, and they lock up way too easy. My bro went from ATEs to V6s, then back to ATEs.

Plus a set of drilled/groved 256mm looks sweet behind 15"s or 16"s. For the money, this is a far better option.

They cost £350 brand new then £30 p&p from Vaux-Md.net, hopefully getting drilled out tho so they dont look plain, got rears done only problem is they have 41 vents so need to figure out a pattern where the discs will still be blanced
