There seems to be different ways to go about it but whats the best way to have them on a corsa B?
Some peopl fit 22spline shaft to corsa hubs and and others go down the equal length shaft route.
Any advantages or disadvantages of either?

Mark if your going to go down the MK2 cav inners route then they need to be GSi shafts and not sport shafts.

No just the same as what you'd have on there normally but with the correct splines for the CV's

What difference do equal length shafts make?
Less torque steer?

Do you think it would be better to just buy this kit so everything there?

£347  . Definitely not. Can be done much cheaper than that with GSi shafts with Cavvy inners and won't be any worse than the LMF kit.
