256mm brakes can be found on 2 litre calibra & cavs. They will fit your car only if used with 2 litre calipers. It's a very worth while up grade. I take it they are vented internally wheres your standard discs will be solid.

You need to use the 2 litre 16v Cavalier/Calibra/Astra calipers.

No, you need the Corsa 1.6 Sport or GSi callipers, the 2.0 Litre setup uses 256 x 24mm discs, while the 1.6 uses 256 x 20mm.

Surely this depends on your wheel size too?
