Who has an equal length shaft setup on their C20LET?

I bought some shafts from a C20XE Calibra for my conversion, but which bits do I use and what, if anything, do I have to buy new? Some people say I have to shorten the shafts, others say I don't? Really I wouldn't like to shorten the shafts if possible.

Someone help

thanks

Im just about to do this my car... A local motorsport place is having a look into it for me, so i'll let you know the results.

Have a search on Mig, I found a few posts about it but people tend to have different opinions on what works and what doesn't.

Its easy enough to work out.
Fit the driveshafts and see if you have any end float when they are at there most compressed point. (when they are perfectly horizontal)

I found there was still some end float so no need to shorten them. However i had a machinist take the passenger side down 3mm anyway as it didnt cost me anything!
