i got my hands on a c20xe from a calibra complete with the whole subframe and the driveshafts. im guessing that the calibra equal lenght shafts are going to be far too long for the corsa?

can anyone clear this up for me as im sure its been done before?

the equal length ones fit ie the drivers side, you have to buy a shorter one for the passager side
