Finally have got round to having my cav V6 brakes fitted to my 1.8 and all i can say is WHAT A DIFFERENCE over standard brakes.

As you can see in the last picture they only JUST fit under 15" "slabs".

Congrats, when I stuck the Vectra V6 brakes on the Cav, I found them a bit spongey - I gather your running Cav V6 calipers?

Im not using a v6 master cylinder and my pedal is fine, so you can knock that too small a cylinder off

the pedal is fine now as the pads have bedded back in.
