not exactly a straight swap, if you want rear discs, look for an astra gte, but you will need to modify the rear beam to fit them.

you'd get better results upgrading the front brakes more tbh with ATE calipers & discs again from an astra GTE.

but make sure you buy new discs & pads for them, I wouldnt use the old ones off the astra

you need 2l front brakes first, straight fit, a million times better than the crap td brakes.

as for rear discs, its on my project list, requires welding though.
