Yep they just bolt straight on. My brake lines from my 12v wouldnt fit the new calipers so i needed to get some braided hoses thats all.

Not sure mate. Braided hoses seemed to sharpen the braking up a bit, so it was worth it (£45 ish from lmf vauxhall)

All's good, as long as wheels are bigger than 14" 5.5J

Dont bother with braided hoses, i noticed no difference.

Do corsa sports not have the same brakes corsa gsi's tho? They are just a bit thinner discs than 2L brakes.

They will fit under some 14s, not all tho.

They wouldn't fit under my 14" nova wheels.

Your std sport brakes are already 256mm.

1.4 had smaller brakes

Sure 1.6 sport has 256mm front discs.
They are same as 2L brakes, apart from there 4mm thinner discs.
2L are 256x24
Corsa 1.6 sport are 256x20

You'd probably notice no difference going from 1.6 sport brakes to 2L ones.
