If you mean astra MK4 that would be a no.

Use either the 2.0 mk3 astra brakes or the V6

256 x 24mm discs, good enough to stop most corsa b's on the spot, every corsa I've own as had them and I can't fault them

Yeah I second the 256x24 setup, that really works VERY well. Straight bolt on job too.

Heard that if using 280/288 discs and calipers, you get a lot of pedal travel, and will need to change master cylinder too.

So stick to the the tried and tested 256x24 setup mate, much better in my opinion.
