CV's dont come with the kit.
Is it a 16v conversion? If so you need CV's off an astra GTE or anything that has the 20XE as standard. Also you will need new crosa wheel bearings.
I used reconditoned CV's @ about £50 each.
Did you get the spacers in the kit? (they look like large washers) these have to go on the outer CV's before they go into the hubs.
