284mm will fit, 288 depends on a rim used, may need to trim off the caliper

no need for braided hoses if not attempting a track use, if the car is for street use, then you won't even notice you fitted them

it will give you a bit less travel on the pedal if you are having trouble with that

so if i stay with standard setup, will stainless braided lines be any good?

i would leave yours but v6 brakes do fit under 15 but sometimes modifications have to be made bit of trimming off the caliper bits like that

288 are the biggest i believe,some one might be able to back me up on that.

these are v6 brakes off vectras,ad say yours were ok tho as 256 mm discs are found on redtop astras etc
