will the 2.0 shafts and hubs and hub cariers and struts from a corsa c20xe fit on to my c20xe nova or are corsa ones different, are the lower arms the same too??do the shafts need to shortened for the nova???

im sure the lower arms (wishbones) are longer and give more neg camber. they are better as they are plated/re-inforced...usefull if you can correct the camber at the strut top. this will also give a wider track by a few mm.
dont know about the hubs. struts are interchangeable though

hubs and struts are the same, however the drive shafts are longer, they wont fit!

interesting, i wonder if they would fit when used in conjuction with corsa wishbones to give a wider track?

never thought...could be worth a try, didnt think the bottom arms were longer on the corsa iirc, just had different ball joints??

If you weld in new turrets to move the top mounts out, yeah!

the corsa lower arms will just give you a stupid negative camber, unless you move the turrets as well like craig said.

so cant use the shafts then thats the main bit i was wantin to use. whats the best and wahts the cheepest way to go about shafts for the 2.0 conversion in the nova?? to much hassle to move the turrets haha can you get the shafts made shorter any way?

GTE 22 spline shafts and 1.6 mk2 cav inner joints, be the cheapest way

you can slot the 2x 8mm strut mounts.

craig, you may look at this comment too.

Anyone know where to get the Cav inner CVs? I've been told by something like 6 Auto Factors that they dont do them.
