hi i dnt know much about brakes but i would say upgrade to some cav 2.0 brakes .
with lowering id get set of coilovers wich varie from 150-400 depending on budget
but i would recommend gettin some low profile tyres for your wheels , should start a project log

for a track car you want the best you can buy e.g blisterin or spax

A mk4 astra rear disk beam bolts straight on mate, you have to modify the handbrake if I remember reightly

if u uprate ur springs and dampers wit either a spring and damper kit or coilovers i dnt see the need to change the suspension again when droppin in a LET lump, brakes will need changing tho, rear brakes u can either change the rear beam as a whole, or buy a conversion plate, i believe regal sell them, the the rear brakes from a MK3 astra sport/gsi will fit,

[Steve46]

thanks for the replies.

On the coilovers i will buy the best ic an get, i just wanted to make sure i wouldnt have to change when the LET gets dumped in it so thats good:D

Will the 2 strut braces really do alot?

Also, which is the better recommend get the whole rear beam set up? or get the plates? thanks

[roperstun]

id go for the rear beam i shld imagine its about 1000x easy

[Steve46]

Does an SXI haave rear discs?
How much should i be looking to pay for one?
Isit just a case of unbolt it from the astra then bolt it straight on to the corsa?
What exactly needs modifiing with the handbrake?

bascily any more info on fittin the rear beam would be great,

thanks again people
