They won't be the 256mm if they're off a Nova.

ATE are the company that made the callipers, so you don't want any old ATE brakes.....you want some off a Calibra (as the ones you were going to get), or an Astra GTE 16V, MKIII Cav SRi/GSi.....I don't know...there's loads with the larger brakes!
You can get larger ones too. (I'll sort out my brain first...so I can remember the stuff I've currently forgot....then mail you ;))

BTW...the NEW Corsa 1.4i 16V, 1.7DTi 16V and 1.8i 16V models come with 260mm vented disks/brakes as standard!
What's the bet they'll fit the Nova?
