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.

Thanks mate, I was considering getting V6's for extra stopping power, but i'll stick with my 2.0 brakes now

yeah......the 2.0s are more than enuff mate.

IMO, when it comes to braking u want something that is perfect for the job and gives u good response. The ATEs give this 100% and more. The V6s are too much.

Didnt use nothing... they are in the original LUCAS color... as they are new.

Yes and it copes with it... it actually can block the wheels... and on track they really work... although a bigger master will be better.
