    use the standard big block shafts off a calibra/cav and get the cav/calibra hubs machined down to fit the corsa bearing's mine was done this way and lasted the lenght of time in which i had the car no probs with loads of hammer cheap as chips too

    I ran Astra GTE shafts in my corsa turbo with no probs, used mtech hub flanges though

    22 spline shafts with some decent condition CV's will last absolutly fine with an XE.

    i think you can use calibra/cavalier/astra stuff, just need to change the hubs to suit big block stuff your best off having a look on corsa sport. They like those bubble things there
