I don't know much about this area on Corsa's. I will be dropping an SRi engine in my car soon, and I want to upgrade the brakes (they are important to me!!) I've read that you can fit 2.0, V6 or Turbo brakes. Which brakes will fit behind 125" Astra LS wheels and what exactly will I need to fit them (parts wise) thanks, Craig

16" wheels are needed for V6 Brakes, and I think you can JUST fit 2L Brakes under 14" wheels, but 15" wheels are perfectly fine.

v6 brakes on a 1.2 will slow you down mate, they are too big and heavy IMO.

I'd say get astra 2.0 brakes, only need v6 brakes on an XE conversion.
