i think the F18 is classed as large spline, so in other words you would need corsa GSI shafts with 2.0 inner cv joints, orr 2.0 conversion shafts and hubs and 2.0 inner and outer cv joints

if you have put an f18 on it then its basically the same as doing a 2 litre conversion, you will need either corsa gsi shafts with mk2 cavalier inner cv joints (22 spline) but i would go for big block setup i.e calibra equal length shaft and a mofified vectra shaft with turned down 2 litre hubs or proper conversion shafts
