He said corsa [b]B[/b], of which none were factory fitted with rear discs, although the conversion isnt to hard. However, unless ur running a c20let or v6 i dont see the point. Fittin a set of 256mm ATEs up front is more than enuff for any corsa < 2.0 16v.

I've heard alot of stories bout nova+corsa's running rear discs, where the rear locks up very easily, especially when cornering/braking simultaneously.

2.0 16v brakes get quite hot quite quickly.  Suffers from heat fade.

Yeah, i've heard of the same before, even heard it was supposed to Roll corsas :lol:  But in all honesty, in 4+ years of owning my car and being involved with Corsas, i've never ever seen any corsa thats had problems with the rear discs.  Mine haven't caused me 1 problem yet, only made the braking better.

Plus discs look much better than drums :lol:

Kris, 25%, true, but the rears are used to keep the car stable. [/quote]

	Also i'd of thought its cheaper to produce discs and pads, when u think how they work Drums and shoes seems like it would cost more to make

	In Australia all Corsa's come with Discs at the rear, even the 1.0 12v We get all the shit over here :@

	its not a problem, dont need them anyway, back only does 25% of the braking.
