Find the back axle from an Astra GTE or Cav GSi. Remove the calipers, discs, pads and base plates.

Grind off the corsa baseplates, redrill the axle to take the Astra ones, and weld them on. Then it's just a case of bolting it all on.

There's been a few threads about it, time to search :cool:

I read on the v tuning website that 305mm front disks require 16'' alloys at least, will these fit behind speedlines?

There was a red nova on here, wrote off the other week, what brakes was e running i know they were big.

I'll look into the v6 rear disk conversion as well.

Rear disc conversion would be good to do at this point?

Undersealing is always a good idea, whack on some braided brake hoses too.

Alright ppl!

I am fitting a new back axle next weekend as mine is bent! I'm going to try and get hold of all new bushes, nuts, bolts for everything suspension/axle related whilst im there.

Can you think of anything else i should do whilst the axle is off........what about undersealing........errrr..........trying to think of anything else.

Thanks chaps
