kinky found some from a source out of Germany but don't remember where. PM him, I'm sure he'll pass on the info.

FYI, they where for a mk2 Astra which would be the same set-up.

just wanted to check

coilover for the Mk2 astra will fit the lanos?

[gse_turbo]

sure thing, same "T-Body" chassis platform

you could use quit a lot from the MK2, the rear disc conversions, big brake kits, polly bushes, quick shift kit, polly motor mounts, etc

with the rear brake all i need is the :disk, the hand brake cable, pads, the cal is that right?

Dont forget rear disks take shoes aswell for the handbrake. Handbrake is cable driven and operates shoes inside the hub. Brake pedal is fluid driven and operates the pads in the calipers.

[gse_turbo]

not 100% sure but you may need to use the wheel bearing assembly as well, perhaps just the spindle. I think the caliper bracket is built into the spindle.

Sorry completely missed that, yeah you'll need the hub aswell as the disk. The disk acts as the drum for the shoes, for the handbrake on the inside. Once you've got the hub, disk etc, the caliper bolts onto that, so you dont need any brakets for your rear suspension arm.


You'd be best getting rear hubs of an old GTE astra or mk3 gsi. Easy to come by, and make sure they're complete, aka, hub, disk, caliper, pads. can get a handbrake cable for next to nothing at any dealer or parts place.


Ignore the ignorant green calipers, but just get this whole bit. Comes off very easily. Unscrew the brake line, undo handbrake cable and thent here's 4 botls holding it to the arm.
