You can swap to the 172 front setup if you've got the hubs etc, they're far superior to the 1.2 16v brake setup imo. As for the rears yes you can easily swap the axle to a disc one but you'll encounter problems with the ABS unless you swap the ABS over from the 172.
You got the full donor car? or a conversion "kit". There no real benefit swapping the rears over other than them looking pretty anyway tbh, the rear does very little braking.

LY 182
its a bit of an all or nothing affiar to tell you the truth im still not 100% decided how to do mine
ive got both the full 172 running gear setup and the 1.2 lot but ideally want to keep the 1.2 stuff as i want to keep narrow track,,
cant use the 172 discs and calipers as the caliper brackets are different meaning youd need to use the 172 hubs which then means you need 172 shocks which then puts the camber out so you have to use 172 wishbones which of course now youve gained 10 mil a side in track width means you need the longer 172 shafts.
next plan is 172 shocks which il modify to sort the camber, hubs (and brakes)
imo no point speculating you need to just get the parts and start seeing what fits.
and if you are buying an accident damaged car it couldnt be simpler its just basically a reshelling job it becomes a bit of a challenge when you buy just the parts

ABs is the issue.
