iv finally went and got it today after about a week so now iv just got to strip it down and mount it onto my spare corsa sri rear beam

wats so special with that? or do u just need to replace ur existing one? lol

look a bit harder and you might see why i have been wanting this astra rear beam...

disc conversion how much that skin you mate?

the lovely sum of £46

iv stripped it all down, and the discs look like new, and the pads are very good aswell so iv just got to sand it down and give it a paint up, oh and cut the mounts of the astra beam and weld onto the corsa one. if i can get them off without bending them...

nice one mate is there gonna be much difference and is it worth it?

just looks really mate, its more 'scene' points but if i ever get around to fitting it is something totally different plus i might have to install a brake bias valve into the rear brake supply because some people have talked about the rear brakes locking up, but then again some havent... so its a trial and error situation

awryt cool. ive always thought it would be cool to have rear disc conversion, people on migweb would be able to shine some light on it mate.

well, theirs like thousands if you do the search on migweb, but they all say totally different things, some say no point just put 2.0 on the front, some say iv had mine locking up, some say mine have been fine, some say i put a brake bias valve in and it doesnt lock up, some say they loose pedal feel, some say they dont. so all in all, everything you could ask to go wrong for a rear disc setup has happened, but no-one knows a cure apart from why bother, but then you loose out on the scene points at shows etc, so its like if you want to do it, do it! if not dont.

thats a really good point, but you can only try to be honest, it prob just depends on how good the conversion has been done.

yea probably, when iv built mine up i might try them out, if i dont like them i'l swap back.

i havent done much to the corsa lately, iv been working on my series 1 land rover, iv stripped down and re-built the front axle, i'l get a photo of it 2moro for ya, and i'l get some of my rear discs aswell, im hopefully going to give them a quick sand and a paint then put them back in the shed again

i got a corsa 1.2 just like ur old one, funny enough i got the exact same alloys too, lol. are your rims a 195/50r15? if they are then sweet, coz i was wasnt too sure bout dropping the back that much coz they look too wide.
Cheers mate

what you mean my old car? my burgundy corsa? well you might have to fettle the rear arches a bit as i was running TSW black ice alloys, but apart from that they fitted ok.
