I've heard they don't fit, you have to bodge them by grinding the caliper... don't do it

you have to use worn pads and tickle the calipers with the grinder but they go on. loads of people say oh dont do it blah blah blah, but i and others have never had a problem

lol so when you pads wear out you have to buy a second hand set every time. just use smaller brakes off corsa gsi, im sure they fit over them and there good brakes.

I ran cut calipers without issues.

I would recommend the Corsa/Astra/Tigra 256x20 brakes though. Not as wide, but just as good.
