Surrrrre do! Your corsa got ABS though? Don't know what happens there...

Calipers and Discs are a direct swap

caliper change wont affect the ABS in any way whatsoever. ABS isnt connected to the brakes, it runs off the driveshaft (well cv joint)

Ignore the wilwood kits on Ebay. I looked at them as they seemed cheap (cheaper than I can buy them on trade infact) and as usual they arent as good as they seem, calipers not suitable for road use due to having no dust seals, cheap non branded discs and no pads, they will also need to be fitted with wilwood braided hoses as standard type ones wont fit and dont come with any warranty if used on the road.

so by the time you spend £330 + £50 for pads + £30 for hoses + £15 for delivery it works out at £425 for a non road spec calliper with cheapo discs.

not so much of a good deal now is it
