dont do it- corsa rear drums are fine as they are and dont need to be any more powerful. or are you just wanting the rear brakes to look better?

Agree with the above. Decent front brakes are sufficient for the vast majority of Corsas.

They make the back end of the car really twitchy under heavy braking. Really not good, I have experienced it several times and it's not nice...
