Ask Dazcav he knows m8, he said he would do it for £60 for me and thats with him supplying disks and calipers.

2x rear discs
2x brake back-plates
2x rear hubs/stub axles/bearing units (4 bolts on each side)
4x (2 pairs) rear hub handbrake shoes & hold-down clips, and operating levers etc - These go INSIDE the disc (sort of under it)
2x rear calipers with brackets & all bolts
4x (2 pairs) rear pads and fitting springs etc
2x rear handbrake cable return springs
1x handbrake cable (suitable for rear discs)
2x metal brake pipes (from caliper to rear beam) Your original flexi hoses should bolt to these.

Mate, I told you, nobody likes that MC Rallying kit... lmao

u dont need the metal brake pipes - i managed to bend my existing ones into place

handbrake cable - any 2.0 16v astra (gis/sport/cdx)

if u can, try and get pre -1990 (i think) stub axles and bearing assmeblys (from cav sri) as u can change the bearings on these - on later astras u can only replace the whole hub unit for £120 odd, whereas bearings r £20 per side

HTH

TomH speak to Andymk3astra he did his just before billing! Took him about 6-7 hours I think?
