How big are the discs on "normal" corsa b brakes? is it worth upgrading to 256mm on the front with bigger calipers?

loads of threads about it. It is worth upgrading, yes, as its a cheap mod which looks better, but more importantly is a lot safer! 256mm will stop you very well, the V6 are more expensive and some people say give a spongy pedal feel, but ive heard mixed opinions on that .

in theory yes, but would be pain setting up brake bias, not to mention actully fitting them.
