Im having a look on chris astley motorsport's website, and im totally confused as there are so many parts. im looking at the 22 spline cv boots, which seem cheap to me, but what shafts would i need with these? wouild anyone recommend them? or should i buy a proper kit with shafts?

another question is that my car is very low, so would there be a possibility that the shafts would snap? cheers.

not really,

as if you use motorsport shafts, you need new shafts, 4 new cv's new barring, new hub's and the hubs and barring pressed into the carrier

if you use gsi shafts

all you need in the standard corsa outter cv's, and the cav inner's

you keep your normal hub's, carrier's etc that are on your car

We've had over 300 bhp from a turbo motor thru gsi shafts with no problem
