**wozzer** · 08-03-2010, 05:44 PM

as above what beam would fit mine?
want rear discs.
and i think mine bent anyway haha

**Vegas** · 08-03-2010, 05:46 PM

Why do you want rear discs, you will see literally no benefits. You think yours are bent anyway? So you alreay have rear discs? huh?

**wozzer** · 08-03-2010, 05:50 PM

no i think the axles bent
iv got drums. discs would look
better with the alloys

disk are only really worth it if your gonna track the car if not there is no point
a case of fashion over function

Agree with everyone here!!! I'm sorry to say!!! But if you are really really set on rear disc's look around Breakers yards or eBay and buy the complete rear beam of a 1.8 SRI or similar would be a better fit and easier job too complete. I've fitted two for friends for the same reason you want them found it a straight forward task.

Although this will not give you much better braking, it looks so much nicer than drums, I say go for it mate.
The rear beam off an Astra should fit a corsa

if you want one they sell one on here but they are very expensive

What model astra do you take the beam from I'm very interested in doing this

**wozzer** · 10-03-2010, 03:21 PM

Your a bit to far away mate haha

**Matthew** · 10-03-2010, 09:26 PM

this conversion should only be done by a competent person as its your life and other roads users lives if it goes tits up. be warned.

**matthew09200** · 11-03-2010, 10:24 AM
