Astra front calipers are bigger than the corsa calipers so provide more braking force.I have got Astra GSi front calipers , Discs and pads. I would keep your rear drums though because if you put discs on the back with less than 280mm discs on the front, the back end can lock up before the front causing unwanted spinning out of control,shit your pants moments.

It aint worth doin mate I converted my corsa to astra gsi brakes only to find absolutly no difference. It all depends on what corsa you've got cause the corsa GSI brakes are the same size only 4mm thinner.

Front - Bolt straight on
Rear - you need to modify your rear axle to fit
