[Edited on 31-07-2007 by Adam_B] I've been in a couple of rear disk converted Corsa's. It made them twitchy as fook. Was scary at some times.

I would say you're better off with a set of decent 2 or 4 pots up front :) [Edited on 31-07-2007 by ed]

	some insurance companies say rear discs only over 200 brake. easy enough just grab some abs models out of astra gte etc. not sure weather the pick ups are the same though
Ste L	posted on 31st Jul 07 at 19:06
	when you fit rear disc's you usually have to use a bias valve, and set it up to put more pressure on the front, which defeats the object of having rear disc's.... if you dont do that, the rear will try and over take the front on hard braking

	1) Doesnt realli make the braking better, only does 10% of it anyway, the corsa is so light it doesnt need rear disks. Makes the backend twitchy (read dangerous) as fuck. 2) As i stated earlier in another thread...your buying brakes to look better :boggle: whats wrong with you people. I want my brakes to stop me faster
