Found this while doing a random google search. I hope it clears up the confusion, even I thought they were the same length.

Well i'll be a monkey's b4llbag - there's your free two degrees of negative camber right there.

Quick jump on the bandwagon!

Corsa C rear drums,stub axles,backplates shoes etc would be an improvement on the nova as the bearings look alot better and the stub axles aren't tapered so the drums and bearings come off easy as one piece.

This has been posted about a few times, once by me. Pre 97 stuff is the same post 97 isn't, there was a thread on vauxsport about 5+ years ago with the pre and post 97 stuff against Nova stuff.
