not sure if they are a dirrect swap but the four stud rear discs would bolt straight on to a b rear axle beam.

No welding needed if you fitting Corsa c discs on a Corsa b axle I've done the conversion you just need to make brake pipes and weld brackets on beem for handbrake

Tigra B rear hubs and discs fit straight to corsa B too .. It would be the easier way to find them than looking for corsa c 1.8 sri discs ... , Or if u want to have choise and easy way to swap between 4 or 5 stud ones wheels u can weld in plates, use a hubs of astra mk3 , mk4 or calibra or cavalier and u can use also astra mk5 discs and hubs for 4 or 5 stud fitment have a look in my project thread )000

Hi all I've just done a corsa c axle onto a corsa b swap but the bushes are too big for the brackets. I've taken it for a test drive and the back end is all over the place. As though its floating. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help would be great. Thanks

Which axle was used? The 1.8 doesn't fit without alterations to the big bush mounts and damper mounts.
If your wanting just the discs then use the 1.8 stuff but not the complete axle, they unbolt straight off a Corsa c and onto a Corsa B however you will need to mount some new handbrake cable guides to the Corsa b beam
