Good question, i know back in the days of the nova the GTE and GSI had bigger master cylinders so i dunno if they did this on the corsa, i would say probably not, if ya get em just make sure ya get braided hoses to go with them

Same here, the pedal is perhaps a bit spongey, but worth it for the extra stopping power

no need to change the master cylinder AND i actually dont think theres a bigger one that will fit anyways...

u will get a slightly spongy pedal even with braded lines but the stopping power u will have is amazing.... i only really notice how good they are now that i have the new engine in....

actually the only thing i can fault on these brakes is the amount of bloody brake dust on my alloys Green stuff pads on the way...
