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...

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

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?
