i use the cavvie gsi shafts and machined hubs that take corsa bearings, my idea of thinking is that if the cavvie shafts worked and lasted on a cavvie gsi then they would be fine on the corsa

The fact that one of them is 22mm too long doesn't worry you though?

If you're on a budget and live life on the edge, go for a DIY kit.
If you worked for a place that went bust and managed to grab a fitting kit on your way out as you'd already paid for one that had supposedly been on order... go for a quality MTech kit.
MTech from new reputable stockists like LMF and V-Tuning.
For Ed's benefit, I love MTech.

Other fitting kits are available, but they're all poo.

M Tec fitting kits are probably the best though... They are the only company that use cast engine mounts which look amazing quality. Not seen the drive shafts, but I guess they are pretty good judging by hte quality of the rst of the gear. My Cossvaux driveshafts look sweet though, as does the rest of the kit Too bad I got a LET fitting kit so I now need to find a powercap for cheap

The cossvaux kit is very good. They have recently changed how they heat treat the shafts, which pleased me as I managed to snap one of the older design. Free replacements given out of course!
