Plates to be welded to the Corsa beam that allow you to fit the Astra brakes.

New brakeline guides.

Works with both ABS and non-ABS models.

If you can make up the plates, then you can get away without the MTech kit, but with the MTech kit you know it's going to all be happy.

Some people also try to get round buying MTech hubs and driveshafts...
