Cheers mate but I'm ok, I'm not looking at doing the conversion just yet! I'm thinking that I might just buy the lmf kit when the time comes round!

the plates fine, its all the guides for the handbrake cable to run right that the lmf kit has, makes it really simple to fit

Sounds like this lmf kit is the easiest way to go about things atm! Wud it not be cheaper to buy the adaptor brackets off ebay for £15 and then get a astra mk2 axel and use everything from that? Just trying to explore options really...!

the lmf kit comes with the backing plates, cable guides, handbrake cable spacer you then need to buy a mk2 astra gte 16v handbrake cable

What rear discs did you use mate? From an Astra mk3 gsi? or mk4 astra? or what?? Did you use the bias pressure converter?

In all honestly the kit does look pretty decent, just wanted to see what peoples opinions are!

Right, i've just done some searching and can't really find the full answers to what i need to do a rear disc conversion on my corsa B...

Now what i've gathered so far is that i need a kit like/similar to this:

http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/M-Tech-Rear-Disc-Conversion-Kit-Nova-Corsa-Tigra.html

Surely the price of that is abit of a rip off for a couple of metal plates? Or not?

What do i actually need to complete this conversion, i read about a bias pressure converter to stop the rear disks locking up under heavy breaking...?! If anyone has some more knowledge on the parts i need can you please list them and send me atleast in the right direction!

Thanks alot !! :cool:
