What brakes would be best for the front? I.e what size?
Also a mate has some 236mm brakes he said they came of the back of an astra gte, so a 1.6 or a 1.8, would these be fine the back of the corsa, and would they go straight on?
Cheers

Can change the rear brakes, though it's a lot of work... You need to grind, weld and drill... I got the parts, but can't be arsed to do it now

OR.....
Fit the rear beam I have for sale It comes pre-modified (by MTech in Holland) with discs and hubs.
It's also 5-stud so you can fit wheels that those with only 4-studs can't!
