Would the discs on my '98 Sport 1.4 be the same size as those on a GSI? I need to know if the GSI discs will go straight on without changing the calipers.

Would the discs from an early SRI be the same as a '98 Sport?

Yes they would. All 1.4 16v's use the 236mm setup, and the 1.6 Sport and GSi use the 256mm brakes. The 1.4 8v also use the 236mm setup but are solid instead of vented.

Cheers Dave. I just needed to know if the discs from the early 1.4 SRI would be a direct swap for the later 1.4 Sport, looks like it is then

There were 2 SRis...one with the 82bhp 1.4 8v engine and one with the 1.4 16v 90bhp engine, both had the same brakes.
