Okay, so I've got a 94 Corsa B GSi which I'm planning to Corsa C rear discs to. I've managed to source a complete rear axle with the hubs and discs as well the handbrake cable. I know that I can either swap the discs over on to the Corsa or swap the whole beam.
What I want to know is, does this affect the wheel offset at all? Like will it make my wheels stick out further (I have Corsa C SRi 16" x 6" 5-spoke wheels)?

Thanks for the reply, did you just swap the hubs and discs or the entire axle?

can you not use the corsa cable all the way to the handbrake lever?

Apparently, the Corsa C cable is too long to use in the B and given the differences between the two handbrake systems, you can't use the B's cable either. I think the cable requires modifications no matter which way you go about it.

just swap the lot over you will need to make new brake lines tho. its a standard corsa long handbrake cable to the rear passenger wheel but the short cable wont fit so u have to cut a longer one down and weld it on the bracket at the back
