damn. i really dotn rate the v6 brakes to be honest, they feel so spongy. am i right in saying there like that becasue the master cylinder isnt big enough to cope with them?

i dont understand that. i've driven about 4 different cars with v6 brakes on, and the only 2 which have felt good started out as 1.4 sports

the GSis and lower models seem to be spongey, god knows why though

standard GSI brakes really are poop
