	There were teething problems with the kits. They did work - I have the first kit on my own Corsa, but due to problems with the manufacturer, we dropped the project. We do have another kit now available - consisting of new backing plates. Some welding is required, but the kits come with full fitting instructions, and the parts needed to adapt the existing handbrake cable. You need to fit stub axles from an Astra GTE, etc. Price on the kits are £100 inc VAT.

	do rear disk conversions make a lot of difference to the braking of the car and do they take a lot of setting up? cheers [Edited on 04-04-2003 by FLYING CORSA]
