I had the whole beam so i was ok

U need the hubs, backing plates, calipers, discs.
Re-drill the backing plates on the corsa rear beam to match them up (we foudn 2 fit and 2 needed drilling).

Welded over the original holes to maintain the strength.

Rubbed down, put all the new kit on, attach rear beam back to car, sorted

Drums



New holes



REar discs (little rust, not anymore).

Not really, it runs fine, Lee Mitchell had the same setup as me for ages. I've had mine on for 9-10 months with no problems at all.

Just dont drive fast round corners Still, done alright at Trax this year

Stop trying to be picky. It depends what you can parts for. IF your a novice with no clue, no, it'll be morelike £40-£50 odd. If you know where to get parts for cheap, then it can cost you nothing at all. Now stop going on and go find another post to nitpick over.

Another case of you getting involved in something that has nothing to do with you. Talking out my arse? Well, u talk sh1t all the time, just like u again in this post.

And if you wanna get picky you stupid old sod, i can cost nothing at all. As i say, mine cost me £8 So under £20.

Acting like the class A 100% muppet you are

Rear gets very light and is very easy to induce a bit of arse out to get you round a corner in a funky manner

My comment was aimed at you going on saying it only costs £20.

Have you had a corsa with Rear Discs? Have you driven a corsa with rear discs before they were fitted? What opinion can you give without even owning a corsa and knowing the full effect of what adding a rear disc conversion can do?

Hence my comment, because you can't, your just going on what you think you know.

no your comment was written because you know I am right and that was the same thing you always put down when I am right.


yes I have never driven a corsa with rear discs. not many people have but when the car is as light as the corsa large front discs can cope with extra power fine.

Vibrio, you always think your right and lots of the time you are wrong. At least when im wrong i admit it. You make a song and dance about it and think im always wrong when im quite clearly not.

Whos corsa have you driven with rear discs then?

Large front brakes are not good if the rear end is a bit skittish showing that too much braking power is up front. Why do race cars have rear discs? Why do clios have rear discs? Why do saxos have rear discs? It balances the car better under braking.

Of course, having drums and moving to discs gives me no thoughts and ideas on this subject at all

Ok so i mis read it (again, showing i dont care when im wrong, again showing how you make a song and dance about it )

So, you've never driven one, dont know what its like, hence what your saying is all about what you think and not about what it actaully does, or drives like

And you say im full of shit Yes, the facts i say that i've researched and picked up over the last 4 years regarding vauxhalls and corsas is all BS, because you say so

You really are too involved with me you weirdo
