depends what your caliper take
people seem to rate 2.0 over the v6 due to the size of the caliper piston meaning alot of pedal travel.

Calibra turbo calipers with 280 mm meriva Sri discs is the best setup I found

I've got Vectra 286mm calipers and the brakes are a little spongey due to the smaller servo.
In the new year i'm going to fit a Mondeo servo which is 25mm compared to the Corsa 22mm.
If sticking with the Corsa servo i'd go for 256mm calipers, they're on a lot of 2 ltr stuff and adequate for an XE Corsa.
