| as a 1.8 owner I can confirm that the standard rear calipers are bobbins. I don't know if they're the same as the 1.6 ones, but either way they're not something I'd recommend. The sweep area of the standard pads is pathetic as well, which is probably why they have such weak stopping power, plus the calipers which are prone to leaking and sticking. It's just a bad setup all round |
