so your brakes are there to look good? riiiight . My brakes are there for one reason and one reason alone and its not because they look good.
Why not just spend the money on getting better front brakes rather than spending money on some rears that "look good."
Unless they are set up perfectly they make corsa very twitchy (read that as dangerous) under braking

i think that if you invest in some v6 jobbies with decent pads and discs and braided lines. these will out weigh the benifits of a rear disk axle. they only do 10% of the braking anyway. Corsa just arent heavy enuff at the back to warrent one in my eyes

well i never knew that. i thought you were ment to do it for the conversion.
i would still like to do it so the big brakes at the front with the back disks look cool but if its not needed i wont do it till later. aslong as it stops lol

16v stuff with standard drums on the rear is more than capable off stopping an xe corsa....
