is that the size of mine 256? and is that also the 2.0 16v size?
v6 ones are an arse but i probs will get bigger discs.
ive only got 15s and im keeping it that way so i want as big a disc as i can get without having to get bigger rims

well mine are deffo not 236 and they're off a GSI
236 mm plain unless on a 1.4 sport or SRi which are 236mm vented
GSi are 256mm and v6 brakes are either 288 or 308 mm

Right there are the CORRECT sizes
Corsa GSI = 256mm x 20mm
Cav/Astra GSI = 256mm x 24mm
Cav/Cally Turbo = 284mm x ???
V6 = 288mm x ???

I was just about to put a new post about Valva brakes & V6 brakes when I spotted this one. Seen as though u r on the subject allready wot do u reckon I should do? Someone local to me is selling Valva Discs, callipers & pads off a Cav GSi for £40 and Im not sure whether to buy these or if its worth saving up for the V6 ones. It’s only a 1.2 16v Corsa at the moment but maybe have an engine conversion in a year or so? should I go for the valva ones or save the extra cash and get V6 ones?

The only difference is the between the Corsa GSI and cavvy ones are the thickness of the disc, the ones the Luke are sellin are a total bargin TBH

I agree. Total bargin
My V6 discs are on the way as we speak, I already have the calipers from Kezs veccy. I didn't think the discs would fit behind my little 15's but I tried my wheel on Darrens car and they just go on, look sooooo schweet with huuuuge discs behind the spokes
Oh and big to Ian at LMF who chucked in a free set of braided hoes with my discs! Top bloke
