Off memory I think CXi hatchbacks came with drums, other variants had disks all 'round - can someone confirm?
ej8 came with rear drums, em1 cam with disks all round
D16y8 only ever came in the coupe VTI (EK8) - the sedan VTI got the D16y5 and the average gearbox
early GLI did have drums in the back and as far as i know ABS was an option on all models from the EK up
the D16y1 / D16z6 is from the EG VTI
sounds like the car was in an accident and patched up by a wrecker lol
man id kill to have rear disc brakes atm....lol,
anyone selling a rear brake conversion kit, let me knw...abs is a must :D
yeah so would i - my car needs it bad - but i have no $$$ so =/Quote:

Ive taken my car to lakeside for the whole day and no issues, drive at a pace that is spirited, driven over most of the eastern parts of oz, not a problem with the brakes and have kept the car in good nick and its at 300,000kms
engine braking helps too ;)
Ive never seen a gli with drums... sounds like someone has done what Ive considered and bought one, swapped their drums for the gli's disc conversion and flogged it off, which no one would ever pick up
