i may use the rear disk setup i dont know, all depends on time and money i suppose

and as for the locking up, i could maybe fit reducers (cant remember the exact name) to reduce the pressure to the back to stop them locking up or the more expensive route would be to fit a bias valve

735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:
