I was looking into it but I sold the car...

I got as far as working out they used the same bearings and also the same brake shoes so couldnt see any reason for them not to fit.. All just seamed a bit too easy..

You could modify some 4 stud drums into 5 stud though.

what? take one drum off, put another on?

not like having to have welding done for rear disk's, then sorting out handbrakes, then getting a compansator fitted to the back's dont brake too hard....

took half a day to do mine and that was without knowing what we were doing, just took a bit of research to get the right parts before we started

personaly i'd still rather use drum's..

30mins to change drums, if that..
i cant weld nor have i got a welder, which would be a problem doing rear disk's

For the hassle of changing to rear disks on a corsa isn't really worth it as they barely use any rear braking.
