will corrado rear calipers fit on my 16v?

[bodga]

This afternoon, i popped to my local scrappy for a nosey around and i got my hands on some mk2 goodies for my golf which included some decent rear calipers. The handbrake springs on mine are weak so when i spotted these beauties on the back of a corrado i couldnt resist. i think i could get away with just using the springs but i wandered if anyone out there knows if they are the same. (they look the same) because i fancy cleaning these up and fitting them complete.
sorry but i never looked at what year the corrado was. my golf is 88 F
stamped on the corrado calipers is girling and a big "38"

I purchased some 16v rear callipers of e,bay an they said girling 38 on em, An they looked exactly the same as mine, But they wouldnt open far enough, So just got the grinder on the arms that overhang, They work a treat now,

cheers beechy! so if my pads or disks were a bit thin these would still fit?

Im goin to try and find some service kits for them first. do GSF or euro car parts have them?

The corrado is at withy road, bilston, westmids. engine and gearbox is gone and wheels and rear calipers are gone too. i never looked inside . all i know is its purple  looked like good bodywork thou. SCRAPPAGE SCHEME?

i got my caliper seals from dealer and they were about £14 for both sides

Sorted now, i took the corrado calipers apart to have a look b4  gettin seals and the one piston was quite pitted so i had a thought.
 
 the only prob with the ones on my car is the handbrake springs have lost there spring! so ive took the ones off the new calipers, which are beefier too. handbrake works a treat now. no binding
