256mm 16v would probably be ok, but i would go with the turbo sized discs.
288s.

288s.

288's using 16v ATE calipers imo, the V6/turbo calipers are good but because of their size they tend to be a bit 'spongy' imo.

My post was meant to say
"256 would be probably be ok, but i would go with turbo sized brakes, 288 discs and calipers."
lol

288 calipers might be ok on a 1.2 sized servo, on a GSi servo they should be fine. I know that Aragorn has them on his mk3 astra with standard servo, and the pedal is fine, and they have the same size servos as a nova.

Is there much work to convert the 256mm calipers to run with 284/288mm discs?

[Philsutton]

i'd say just the 256 ones, its a 1.6T right?

[Stuart]

256mm ebc discs and pads are a good idea.... ohh there are some in the FS section ;) lol

[NickWalliams]

yeah id say 256mm with some top notch pads and discs
