We all know that Vectra front brakes are good but feel spongy , does any body know a master cylinder mod that will give the car more feel and firmer pedal for track days

See the problem is, the corsa one is streight up and 99 % are strieght out or angled up. Saturday I walked round a scrap yard with the reservoir in my hand trying to find witch master cylinder matched the two pipes.(audi a3 followed by volvo t5 nearly there).

Braided hoses and quality fluid help a little but as you say the main culprit is that shitty mc.

I've got all the bits ready to do mine but not got round to it yet.

You need a Mondeo MC, I got one off a 1998 2ltr 16v model.
I've got a couple of nylon pipe adaptors made up so I can run remote reservoirs for the brake fluid.
Also the bar for the brake pedal needs extended.
