You can use the standard mounting points up to the engine bay. What is the splitter off? I should be standard threads, not sure what pitch. When I did my Puma ones, I bought that part brand new from a motor factors when I got the pipe and unions.
Did have problem with the bias though. If it has ABS as standard it probably won't have a load proportioning valve on the rear axle so you may need to install a bias valve somewhere depending how it feels when you've fitted it.

The factory regulator is quite difficult to adjust, you might even run out of travel on the mount. An in-line one is the ideal solution but they're expensive and you would need to fabricate something to mount it in the engine bay somewhere if you're running the lines outside.

 Yes they have a load valve even with ABS, other wise ABS would come on all the time when braking,
the difference is ABS is a diagonal split and normal is side to side

Think the MK 3 astra had a load valve that like a ball bearing, it run`s forward when you brake and is mounted to the body, I will look into this and get back to you

supposed to run them, for example front right and rear left in same circuit, then obviously front left and rear right in the other circuit. most people dont seem to both doing it that way.
