well bigger discs mean more surface area for the brake pads to 'grab' and therefore you stop quicker and with much less effort

They do make a lot of difference, especially when braking from speed. However on mine even with ABS if u stamp it does lock up to some degree, methinks they r a bit too good.
Also the pedal feel isnt great as the callipers were designed for a larger master cylinder, making them spongy on a corsa. Still work great tho i would reccomend them.

I have the LMF V6 brakes and I think they are sooo much better than 2.0 ATE's I ran before. I actually like the pedal feel more - more progressive so you can scrub the speed a touch nicer than the on/off feel of my 1.2 standards. I give em a and the price is mint.

noonster - you could try the front brakes off the new 1.7CDTi 16v? they come with 280mm ventilated. maybe ask LMF if he can get hold of them? i know he can get the SRi 260mm brakes as someone on here bought them for his sxi.
