256MM 2.0L brakes are best on a 1.4. 288MM's are big and heavy, and give a crap pedal feel.

V6 calipers give a crap pedal feel, turbo calipers don't.

To answer the original question, 1.4 discs are 236 x 20 mm whilst 1.6 discs are 256 x 20 mm.

1.4 pads will fit with 1.6 discs as the pads and callipers are exactly the same - its just the carriers that are different.

Cav Turbo and early Calibra Turbo brakes are, late Calibra Turbo are 288s.

Calipers are the same though iirc.
