As title, does the ABS still function on a GSI with a V6 set up?

any biger calipers with ABS is total shite tbh mate. the abs system on corsa gsi's is awful. v6 brakes have a long pedal travel anyway due to the bigger caliper but with the ABS it just makes it worse. wasnt too bad with the 2 litre set-up but far from great.
When I fitted my 4 pots I decided to completely remove the ABS system and it miles better without it.
But to answer your question, yes it will still work ok.

Cheers Dave.
Are the pickups on the hubs then, or the driveshafts?

When I put my V6's on I adjusted the brake pedal so the travel isn't as bad as it normally is, you will need a cut down 15mm spanner to do it iirc.

TBH Rob, mine are a tad spongey, people have been speaking about the rear brakes being the key - any gen on this?

i had drums. i had braided hoses though
thing is, me and mark both had 1.4 16v engines/ brakes to begine with, so maybe the master cylinder/servo are different, thus not incurring the sponge?
