236mm, but aren't vented disc, you'll not gain any more power from them, but they won't fade out. Have you ever experinced brake though? IF not don't waste your moneys

you push brakes hard and they don't bit, like they are fading, it's when they get to hot. I doubt you have though Kurty boy, back when my nova had the same brakes as your corsa it took a fair amount of abuse before they'd fade, but on track they woud only last a lap.

sounds like caliper binding, not good.

I get the opposite, mine fade when they get cold :eek: so slip road antics are just as bad, but they get better I guess.
P.S where were you saturday eh??
